What’s $1Trillion Amongst Friends?
Not much came out of the Sunday Morning shows, outside of Sen. Shelby (R-AL) teasing us with a potential filibuster to block a bailout (which, if we’re going to filibuster a bail out the UAW, should include opposition of “card check” and naming the names of any D who has taken campaign donations from the union).
However on all the roundtables, there was discussion of Obama’s new massive works program. You know, which is going to pay for jobs and roads and bridges and schools and broadband and electronic medical records and energy and free ponies and what not.
I’m sure if you’re like me, you’re wondering where all this money is coming from. Well, no one seems to know for sure, and is at least pretending to be okay with the fact that people don’t seem to care. Pundit after pundit had say something along the lines of “well, the deficit is already at $1Trillion, what’s the big deal aboot $1.5Trillion?”
Now, I’m no economist. I don’t even play one on the internet. I would just kinda prefer it if my government didn’t use the same rational I use to run up my American Express card.
