Believe me, Paladin, my mind has been more than boggled at the size of the numbers being bandied about with abandon in Washington these days. And yet they just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger numbers, to supposedly "fix" a problem that half of them helped create. In about 20 years, our kids are going to be very pissed off at us... if they are not already, and if there is still an America to be pissed off about. I would guess somewhere between hell freezing over and the entropic death of the universe, Gene, given how dim of views the majority of our representatives have concerning rights, much less personal freedoms...

So when can the non-profit militia get some of the stimulus money?

THINK ABOUT THIS!!!
1 Million Seconds = 11.5 days
1 Billion Seconds = 32 Years
1 TRILLION Seconds = 32,000 YEARS!
If we were to pay $1.00 per second toward paying off these “Bailout” and “Stimulus” packages (that equates to $86,400.00 per DAY!), it would take approx. 48,000 YEARS to pay them off.
That means we will be saddling our ‘posterity’ to paying off OUR DEBT for generations and generations to come. What will they think about us? Bet it won’t be anywhere near the “greatest generation” from WWII.
THINK ABOUT IT LONG AND HARD THEN TAKE SOME EFFECTIVE ACTION (like contacting your Congressperson and Senators and demanding they NOT vote for this socialistic legislation) DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT!
