Lent

I feel that President Obama should give up on spending our money for Lent.

$800,000,000,000 for stimulus

$410,000,000,000 spending bill just passed by the house (9000 pork projects)

$675,000,000,000 for health care "reform"

$75,000,000,000 for loser home mortgage relief

$3,600,000,000,000 for his budget.

$1,700,000,000,000 deficit for this next fiscal year.

Pretty soon we will be talking real money.  (" A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money " attributed to Sen Dirksen (IL))

$1,000,000,000,000 in new tax increases sorry "deficit reduction measures" (not reducing the amount of spending!).

I guess I am not as "brilliant" as Obama, I don't understand how spending money we don't have and raising taxes on businesses will help revive the economy and create sustainable jobs.
