What The Hell!

Above is the national debt clock in New York. It ran out of digits today.

Here is a digit for you:

I can't believe that we have gotten to this point. This is a disaster beyond belief. The Dow Jones is below 9000 points. GM is worth less than it was in 1929.

I thought that the $700 billion was going to help. It hasn't done shit!

$700 billion could buy a years supply of gasoline for every American.

$700 billion could pay the income tax of every American who makes $500,000 or less a year.

$700 billion could fully fund the Departments of Defense, Education, State, Interior, Treasury, and NASA.

$700 billion could buy every single NFL, NBA, and MLB team and build each one a new stadium, and pay each player $191 million apiece for a year.

$700 billion could buy the Netherlands.

$700 billion could buy every person in the world a Coke a week for a whole year.

$700 billion could buy a 60-inch plasma TV for every person in America.

$700 billion could buy everone in Africa 500 pounds of rice.

$700 billion could buy an island for every person in South Dakota.

But $700 billion couldn't fix the economy. No, $700 billion couldn't even prevent the stock market from falling to a low that nobody has seen before.

To show you how bad it has gotten, look at it like this. When all the banks collapsed, the market barely fell. The market didn't crash until AFTER the government passed a "plan" to "fix" the problem!
