They say a picture is worth a thousand words. We were told that this crisis was serious and that if we didn't spend these $800 billion dollars that we'd be facing a catastrophe. But somehow I don't think Pelosi, Rangel and company are laughing because they just saved the nation. Far from it, they are laughing because they just got over on tax paying Americans. I'm going to make that distinction because 40% of Americans pay ZERO income taxes, many receiving some kind of government subsidy from the rest of us.

George Moneo has the following quote on his email signature which is appropriate given this situation:

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
     -Benjamin Franklin

Folks, the wolves are going to be outnumbering the lambs soon.  

Something else crosses my mind, remember how Obama and his surrogates kept bringing up the $10 billion a month we are spending on the Iraq war?  How does 80 times that amount strike you for one-shot spending spree that will cost trillions once it's all said and done?

I have some friends that voted for Obama because they felt Republicans "had lost their way" and were "spending like drunken sailors".  Well the entire fleet just pulled into port with wallets full of cash, our cash and out children's cash.  Aren't you glad we got rid of those free spending Republicans now?
