I wonder where they got all of that money?

They get money from Oil, China gets it from the trade surplus with America.

Don't expect this to change the economy. The market is in BIG trouble.

more like selling off wall street. previous bailouts have involved the government buying shares in banks. having foreign companies buy them out is somewhat unprecedented.
