Beltway quote of the decade/century

"Hmmm, a $1.5 trillion budget deficit or a $61 billion cut.  In a multiple choice test, which one would you choose as “radical,” which as “extreme” and which as “nowhere near enough, you gutless morons?” This is really hard. No wonder Congress hasn’t been able to pass a budget yet."  Michelle's Mirror  


Should we blame the dat-gum teachers for not emphasizing the difference between  billion and trillion?  I'll take it on ~ Listen up!  A trillion is a lot more.  This is not Monopoly money.  It will bite our children and grandchildren to the off-key tune of interest-only equaling what we now budget for military spending.  That's a lot.  You heard it here first, for cryin' outloud!
