This is ridiculous...

Another thing I saw was that if you laid a dollar bill down every second, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, it would take 32,000 years to reach a trillion dollars! ouch! (Deficit)....

What does a Trillion Dollars look like?

....it looks like half (and shrinking) of the population working so Uncle Sugar can garnish support for the half (and increasing) that doesn't.

Looks like 3 wars.

1 trillion is also about how much it costs to buy a chamber of congress.

This dickweed would make a good candidate for the Poster Child of the Democratic Party. He might have over 800K$, he might have an Audi ragtop, he might be a hippie culture leftover, he probably tells people he was in Vietnam, but he can't possibly have any self esteem or pride in self. What he really is missing in his life is a jacketed hollowpoint.

Don't hate the player.....

No hate, just disgust for someone who would milk the system when there are many others out there in serious need of help. Our society has gone to hell in a handcart and this jerk and many more like him are a large part of the reason why; I therefore can't condone what he's doing. Even though the system is what is broke; it's easier to fix problems at the individual level if anyone gives a damn. I just happen to give a damn!

What a POS....

Here's an email I got a while back...this dude is dead the F on....
This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX 18Nov2010
Put me in charge ...

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for
Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans,
blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away.
If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations.
Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings.
If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?

You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections
anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job.
It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you.
We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good."

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary.
If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem,"
consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely
nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices.
The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

You could really build a house out of that much money. I just on 1 pallet please.

I would rather see the system fixed.

Dear Mr. Evans,

We've received your letter and generally agree with some of your assertions. Furthermore, we've decided that in addition to including your well thought out missive about hooligans, the terminally odd and layabouts to our list of actions taken to ensure a pure America, we'd add the geriatric, gypsies and gays. Old people generally only receive, and do not produce anything for this society. Luckily, we do have a new series of camps that will help re-educate you to be a more productive member of society. These camps all look like Wal-Marts, but trust us, they are far more luxurious than the camping section, or the food court. We even have showers! Please have your bags packed, and this beautiful yellow star sewn on to your coat so we know that you have received this letter, and are ready to come join the rest of the aged at your new home.

Sincerely,
Herman Goering.

Dear Lakeysha,

I recently learned of the appallingly insensitive treatment you recieved from Amtrak. I assure you Mr. Holder has been notified and is looking into the matter. Don't worry your new free cell phone is on the way. Have you ever thought of working in the community organizing business. A person with your communication skills is rare. Tell Al and Jesse hello for me.

Dear British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon and others,

Please remit the sum of $30 billion dollars to the United States Treasury. We realize that this means you will all have to share the same Boeing 737 Executive Aircraft for 6 months, but we feel as though we could really, really use some of that scratch we handed over to y'all for "research."

Also, please tell your buddies at General Electric to start paying some income taxes so we can turn the lights back on in the Eisenhower building. Secretary Salazar would really like to go to the bathroom on his floor instead of hitting the bushes behind the West Wing,

Sincerely,
Peter M. Rouse.

The poor thing! Disrespected; can you imagine that? Maybe someone needs to tell her and others of that mindset that respect is something you earn through good deeds, behavior and contributions to society; it's not something you're born with!
