borrowed money from China
AnswerTwo possible sources: Borrowing and Printing money.
The US government can borrow the money from individuals, either US citizens, foreigner individuals, or foreign governments. Problem is, US citizens don't have enough to lend (and if they had any sense, wouldn't do it anyway). So the vast majority of this debt will be held by foreign interests. China already holds a huge part of our debt. And Islamic nations are getting more and more of it. This will make matters much much worse.
Or the treasury can just print more money. $700 billion more to be exact. This will cause rampant inflation.
I say let the stock marketcollapse. What we're going through is simply a "correction". Sure, it's a giant correction, but it was a giant error that is being corrected. And that error was committed by the US government, forcing banks to hand out loans to people who couldn't afford to pay them back.
And the thing that really stinks about this is, whatever happens with the bailout, 20 years from now, when all the dust settles and the economy is back on its feet, some liberal politician will start moaning about how unfair it is that low-income families can't get loans to buy houses, and we're going to have to go through all of this again.

Should the US government cut spending after the 700 billion dollar bail-out goes through?
If the bailout package is able to successfully revive the US economy then the US government should cut spending on the bailout. But some financial experts feel this 700 billion may not be sufficient. If what they predict becomes true then the government would have to pump in more cash into the bailout package. This bailout cannot be left in midway because the future of the world and US economy lies predominantly on this bailout and people are hoping that this works out successful.
How and when will taxpayers be affected on the bailout?
1. Bailout is a mechanism to strengthen banks' balance sheet so that their credit rating will not deteriorate thus not requiring to pledge additional asset to creditors. 2. It is also a mechanism to safeguard banks from panic withdrawal from depositors. Bailout comes at a cost (a very huge cost), in dollar term, it was estimated that the whole bailout plan will cost every man, woman and children in the US $2,300.

How will the US government's 700 billion dollar bailout affect the GDP and the unemployment rate?
It is unclear the affect the bailout will have on GDP and unemployment. GDP growth has the biggest impact on employment so how the economy responds to the bailout is the critical factor, If credit markets loosen up and credit begins to flow again it will have a very positive impact on GDP growth. In that instance the impact of the bailout will be a reduction in unemployment.
