So what else could we have spent the money from Obama's Porkulus bill on?

Well now that Obama and the Democrats have picked our pockets and raided our bank accounts for years to come to the tune of 787 billion dollars (most of which will be wasted on projects that enrich those who supported the Dems and paying off the mortgages of irresponsible people who bought houses that they could not afford, articles like the ones at the Boston Globe and StoptheACLU got me to thinking what else we could have blown all that money on.

According to The Globe, it could have paid off all of the student loan debt in the country, with over 230 billion dollars left over. Stopthe ACLU figured out that it could pay for Oh--and it could also pay for 1,210,769,230 3 day packages to Disney World, including airfare, meals and the obligatory set of mouse ears. (So basically we're all each PAYING for a trip to Disney World, courtesy of Obama and Congress. We're just not going to get to go.)

So what else could we buy with $787,000,000,000?

Well I could go to the Civilian Marksmanship Program store at Camp Perry and buy 11,746,268,656 cans of .30-06 ammunition. At 240 rounds per can, that works out to 2,819,104,477,440 rounds. Lagniappe and I could shoot for quite a while. I guess that we'd better break out the Browning 1919A4 for this one. At 150 rounds per minute--the gun's maximum rate for sustained fire--it would take us 35,757 years to fire it all if we shot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and that's without stopping to change barrels or hit the head.

But Lagniappe would rather eat pig's ears than shoot. He loves those pig's ears that Petco sells for $1.49 each. The 787 billion dollars could buy him 528,187,919,463 of those delicious treats. Hope you're hungry, fella.

One could also buy 984,365,228 plasma television sets, about three for every man, woman and child in this country. Of course many of the welfare homes already have one or more plasma TV's, so subtracting for that, there'd easily be enough left over to pay for cable TV hook-ups for everyone as well.

So what would YOU buy with $787,000,000? It is your money, after all. Most creative submission gets honorable mention and possibly a German Shepherd dog. Please show your work, and yes, the math needs to work out.

Another day, another Dem fails to pay his taxes.

This time it's DC Councilman and former mayor/convicted felon Marion "the bitch set me up" Barry.

Prosecutors are once again trying to have him jailed as he has once again not filed a tax return, the eight time in nine years.

Barry, 72, was given three years of probation in 2006 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges for failing to file his tax returns from 1999 to 2004. As part of a plea bargain, he agreed to file future federal and local tax returns annually.

Two years ago, however, prosecutors sought to have that probation revoked after Barry failed to file his 2005 taxes. But U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson refused, ruling that prosecutors did not prove Barry willfully failed to file his returns, even if he was aware that he missed the deadline.

How the hell does that work? I'm thinking that Magistrate Robinson is smoking some of the same crack that Barry can't seem to stay away from.

But he's only a Democrat, so it won't hit the news like it would if, say, it were some conservative or a Republican.

Still, we can just add his name to the list of other politicians who aren't paying their fair share--Congressman Charlie Rangel and Obama cabinet picks Tim Geithner, Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer and the husband of Hilda Solis. (NOTE: All Democrats. Coincidence? I think not.)

And as wrong as this currently pending Stimulus bill being considered is--and it's plenty wrong--I'm thinking that don't need any stupid stimulus bill to fund our government...we just need to get the Democrats to pay their taxes.
