"Everyone in this chamber, Democrats and Republicans, will have to sacrifice some worthy priorities for which there are no dollars. And that includes me."

Excuse me? Didn't you just spend 800 BILLION dollars? An amount 300 billion larger than the whole cost of a half-decade war? An amount equaling $2,500 for every single American?

Shut up.

That's just the Iraqi part of the war... remember, this is a "war on terror"... you have to factor in homeland security, afghanistan, advertising that water bottles are not allowed, etc...

But, this stimulus package is insane

Also the Iraq war was 500 billion in 2004 dollars, that's like 4.3 trillion 2009 dollars... so this is totally a bargain.

In comparison. I'm not exactly putting the Iraq war up as an example of responsible and effective investing.
