Default One Trillion Dollars

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11880954/

.......but don't ask what the U.S. could do differently for a trillion dollars..........that would be unpatriotic and defeatist.

After all, Lawrence Lindsay was fired by the Bush Administration when he suggested the tab could go as high as $200 billion back in 2002. That was "poor salesmanship" to Karl Rove, I guess.

Michael Graham, the idiot on WTTK, this morning said that amount was justified because the attack on the WTC cost 500 billion in one day, so one trillion over ten years is justifiable!

Look Closely At Their Faces, They Are The Saviours, They Are The Holy Spirit, Praise The Lord God Almighty.

Obama Big Ears & Pant Suit Hillary:
The American people will sweep them into office, Big Ears will be the man, the leader of the free world, Pant Suit will be his stooge, she will have to take her orders from Big Ears, this is only fitting, she and her husband, Blue Dress, have been at the forefront in the battle to make it possible for a young black man to become President Of The Untited States Of America, praise God.

Hillary has sang hymns with Obama's people, she has marched arm and arm with them, Jessie Jackoff was her husbands "Spiritual Advisor" she is truly a wonderful open hearted person.

This has all paid of for Pant Suit, Big Ears will now be "Her Boss"

The day after Big Ears & Pant Suit are sworn in Global Warming Will Vanish, The War Will End, The Muslim Terrorists Will Stop Making Bombs, They Will Go Back To Abusing Their Women, Feeding Their Donkeys and Cutting Each Others Heads Off.

GOD IS TRULY GREAT

And I thought that the saviors were in the White House right now, with all the rhetoric that gets put on this board one would think so.. the current administration is truly great and sitting at the right hand of God.. just ask their apologists who blindly defend them and blame everything on the so called MSM. If they can't do it no one can!!!

Could we apply the same ROI calculation to the 10 trillion + spent on the War on poverty programs with no withdrawal plan.

Soon they will be gone, Big Ears & Pant Suit will take over and save the Planet.

You know, if that had happened I'd at least say we got something for the money.

But in reality, we spend one trillion dollars and get zilcho (except a pissed of Iraqi population that will, for decades, have anti-U.S. demonstrations on their brand new bridges and highways).
