CNN asks a Temple University mathematics professor how much $1 trillion actually is. The story notes Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is correct when he says that if you spent $1 million per day starting in the year 0, you still would not have spent $1 trillion by 2009.
Wild Thing’s comment………..
Most democrats can not understand what is happening. We are being robbed. This is not a stimulus bill, it is a payoff of Obama’s buddies that helped him get elected. If he can get this bill passed he will be the greatest thief in the history of mankind.
And there is this……..
DeMint, Sanford leading opposition to Obama stimulus plan
Sen. Jim DeMint and Gov. Mark Sanford urged members of the Senate on Wednesday to reject President Barack Obama’s economic-stimulus bill, as DeMint introduced a rival measure he said required only tax cuts.
Sanford, in Washington for a Republican Governors Association meeting, asked Republican senators at a Capitol Hill lunch convened by DeMint to follow the lead of House Republicans who voted against the $819 billion stimulus measure last week.
Sanford and DeMint said they are joining forces in a bid to try to spark the kind of national outcry among conservatives that led to the defeat of a major Senate immigration-reform bill in 2007.
You just don’t understand Obamathematics. It all has to do with the 500 million jobs a month we are losing without this Syphillis bill. Source Nancy Pelosi.
I did a post and video clip on this yesterday.
God willing, in less than 4 years South Carolina here we come! Both U.S. senators and the governor are conservative Republicans and RINO (Graham).
It snowed in Myrtle Beach yesterday? Global warming, eh? – The Palmetto State of 50% U.S. military active duty personnel past and present, and retirees. NOTE: Only 4% of South Carolinians work for a labor union. Go Tigers, Cocks and Chanticleers!
LOL > BobA
S. Carolina seems to be holding to it’s traditions! Thank god!
Even VA’s latest local elections seem to be redder than not.
It’s amazing to watch the congress critters lie through their teeth on the senate and house floors in the “debates” on this Obomination.
Unfortunately we no longer have a media that will report anything close to the truth about this administration or its policies.
But hey, I’m holding out for the fish barriers! Or “sea kitten” barriers as PETA would have them known as.
obama the common garden variety democrat. He doesn’t want to fix the problem just put it on the back burner on low, all the while claiming to have aleviated the problem(not fix it mind you) then when an election comes along turn up the heat and use it again to keep the democrats in charge of the socialist juggernaut they have created.
He just signed the SCHIP Bill which will increase Cigarette Taxes again, so smokers are going to pay for Health Care for illegals. But supposing all these ‘nasty’ smokers quit, just suppose, who then is going to pay for these increases. You can bet that taxes are going up to pay for this. The added tax on cigarettes is a smoke screen. The logic, only the dirty smokers are paying for this. The lemmings, dumb enough to believe this, buy it. When suddenly they realize their taxes have gone up too. Surpirse, surprise.
Welcome to ‘barrys’ world of distorted figures, lies, deception and Tax Cheats.
A trillion $$ mostly spent to grow government. This is with less than a month in office. I wonder if Obama plans on a trillion a month spending. He has no concept, or does he? Maybe he plans on changing America by breaking America. The ultimate government control, like Magabe in Zimbabwe.
Obama is certainly putting together the crew that can break America. Marxists and crooks. I think even the MSM is shocked at this group and is doing some limited reporting whereas ordinarily the media would overlook liberals criminal backgrounds.
I don’t know about how others deal with their own finances, but every time I’ve been out of work I’ve got off my sorry ass and beat on doors. Everytime I’ve over extended myself financially I’ve had to cinch up the belt, quit spending and/or take on another job to pay off the creditors. Early on I learned that getting a loan to pay off another loan only compounded the debt, interest money that was better off accruing interest for me than that creditor. It took years to get on top of the ball instead of being beneath it, that doesn’t mean financial freedom, only that you have to fear the whims of government and your neighbor who envies your independence and spends all their time trying to take it away. Once you are no longer employable your income is fixed and subject to inflation and pilfering by government entities. The double digit inflation of the ’70’s is still a vivid memory as it was nearly impossible to get to work with gas rationing or non available gasoline plus the wage freeze that held us down and let prices go through the roof. That’s the scene that’s before us only worse.
I can’t afford to spend my way out of this and neither can most of us. Try it and see if the bank will float you in that endeavor, yet that is the mentality of our government and we are their bankers, wait, like hell we are, you see they have taken out a second loan with China. Politicians powered by sycophants who take from us now and from our offspring and pay for non productive members of society just because they have the right to vote.
How many from the former Clinton Administration are in Obama’s administration, 17? How many with questionable credentials 3-4 or more? Where is the proof of this usurper’s legitimacy? He has his Attorney General Holder and possibly David Ogden to run his Gestapo. Only at the last minutes of freedom are those gutless bastards in the Senate speaking up while they are standing on the trap door with the noose around their miserable necks. We’ve been betrayed by Congress and every lying politician out there.

How Much is a Trillion Dollars?
On his talk show on Fox News, Mike Huckabee cited an amazing statistic. One trillion dollars, the approximate size of the porkulus package when you take into account interest, is an astounding amount of money. How large is it? You could buy out Microsoft, Google, Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola and Wal-Mart and still have 23 billion dollars left over to buy 300 million shovels.

All that money for ACORN would be to shore up his voter base. Buying power with our money. Outrageous. Re-drawing voting districts can’t be far behind.
What is a trillion dollars? The cost of my children’s, grandchildren’s and great grandchildren’s futures! That’s what it is! My children, my legacy, will NOT have the world of freedoms, sunshine and laughter. They will learn of those things in history books–that once a mighty nation stood tall and proud amongst all others and in the blink of an eye, she was destroyed by the complete failure of leadership and guidance by those in charge. They will NOT be able to choose a career that fits them. It will be whatever the government tells them to do and they will have to like it.
I dream of a different future, but it’s only a dream. I wanted so much for my descendancy so that they could enjoy getting a sunburn or a scraped knee from playing in the sun or riding a bicycle or playing in the rain and building snowmen and having snowball fights and eating sweet and fatty foods from time to time.
Who died and left these weirdos in charge who think everything is bad and that we can’t control our own actions.
The dummys have bankrupted this nation for generations to come and they don’t care.
