No more astronomical numbers in the economic forecast
« on: February 24, 2009, 11:12:27 AM »
Astronomical numbers only get up into the hundreds of billions. Now with trillions being thrown around like pocket change we need a new term. "Astronomical" just isn't big enough to measure the kinds of money that's being squandered in this country.

Yes, TM7 those A1 are hell on those school buildings that hide those nasty terrorists and their kids fighting back with AK-47 and throwing rocks while their homes get bombed.

Taking a direct quote from the movie Spaceballs...

"My God!  They've gone PLAD!"
I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."
