Well the article may not mention it but the fed reserve (taxpayers) are holding the bag on about 60 trillion in derivatives. Banks handed them over to us. Add that to the national debt number.

Notional value is like debt? Great, tell me who loaned those banks $60 trillion? Thanks!

What's your source on that? Are you talking about derivatives still owned by U.S. banks where the banks are FDIC insured? And the bank would have to fail in order for the U.S. to pick up the assets.
