A Picture is Worth...



...A Thousand Words.

Or in this case, 1,200,000,000,000,000. And those words are "DOLLARS."

A certain Suitably Flip blogger also illustrates what you can get for this amount of moolah.

Change has come to America. Where, once, the "prohibitive" cost of the Iraq War was debated endlessly (as long as a camera was present), we now find it perfectly legitimate to spend TWICE as much with less debate than it takes to dedicate a Post Office. Apparently, all it takes for principles to "change" is for an election to occur.

Spending in defense of the USA is wrong. Spending in defense of re-election is good. Killing Terrorists - Bad. Buying Pork - Good. Paying Back Terrorists - Bad. Paying Back Special Interests - Very Good: Doug Ross: By the Numbers, spells out where the money has gone.

Obama wants to "preserve jobs" with this pork bill. He wants to ensure that only US products and services are used. (Hmm, we bailed out GM. They build cars all over the world, some of which are sold here. Is that subsidizing foreign workers?) Let's see what happens, according to Doug Ross: $1,646,000,000,000 ($1.646 trillion): the approximate amount of annual United States exports endangered by the "Stimulus" package, which provides a "Buy American" stricture. According to international trade experts, a "US-EU trade war looms", which could result in a worldwide economic depression reminiscent of that touched off by the protectionist Smoot-Hawley Act. (Obama wants to be FDR, but is going to be the next Hoover.)

Its already started....UPDATED

Apparently, the Obamunists have discovered that their plans may not be welcome. Under their "Urban Policy" page, one finds: "The page you requested is not available right now."

And the page prior to it, labeled Agenda, has only this:

The Agenda

President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Biden have developed innovative approaches to challenge the status quo in Washington and to bring about the kind of change America needs.

The Obama Administration has a comprehensive and detailed agenda to carry out its policies. The principal priorities of the Obama Administration include: a plan to revive the economy, to fix our health care, education, and social security systems, to define a clear path to energy independence, to end the war in Iraq responsibly and finish our mission in Afghanistan, and to work with our allies to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, among many other domestic and foreign policy objectives.

Evidently, the Obama Administration doesn't want you to know what those plans are anymore....

Here is a pdf from NRAILA that was saved from the Google Cache.

The plans to take your guns is also gone.....

Here it is again, also from the NRAILA.
