These bills Congress is passing for bailouts and stimulus are making me crazy. Everything they are doing flies in the face of every concept of free market. Senator John McCain has been twittering. For a few days, he twittered the top ten porkiest earmarks in the bill. It was pretty interesting. Several would have been funny if it had been Monopoly money we were talking about. However, it isn't. It is our money.
I am completely incapable of wrapping my mind around the kind of numbers in these bills. To help visualize it, I found this website. Check it out. I'll be listening for your "Wow!" (I would HT the blog that first directed me to this site if, for the life of me, I could remember who it was!)
