If we're starting an over/under pool, I'll take the "over."

Bloomberg Analyst: $700 Billion Bailout Could Balloon to $5 Trillion
“So now they try to solve the problem by having this credit
bubble actually extended and I think the $700 billion will be like a
drop in the bucket because the total credit market in the U.S. is
something close to $60 trillion, then you have the CDS market – credit
default swap – of around $62 trillion. Then you have the whole
derivatives worldwide worth about a notional $1,300 trillion. So the
$700 billion is really nothing and the Treasury is just giving out
this figure when actually the end figure may be $5 trillion.”
