THE DANCE OF BILLIONS

I just heard that george Dubya is sending ONE BILLION DOLLARS to Georgia. The only bad thing is that this is not Sonny's Georgia but an obscure former Soviet Republic being run by Cheney's cronies. This is an outrageous spending, on top of the TEN BILLION DOLLARS being spent MONTHLY in Iraq, the TWO BILLION being spent in Afghanistan MONTHLY and the FIVE BILLION DOLLARS being borrowed MONTHLY from China to pay for Saudi oil. Do the math, this mammoth growing deficit, now at the tune of TEN TRILLION DOLLARS (10 followed by 12 zeros I believe) is the inheritance of the worst, most disastrous Republican administration in history. It will take a burden on ourselves, our sons and grandsons to PAY for this dance to which nobody invited us.

DO WE REALLY WANT MORE OF THIS? I WILL VOTE AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS, IF ONLY TO SHOW MY DISGUST WITH THIS IRRESPONSIBLE SPENDING AND SEND A MESSAGE.

I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO THINK TWICE AND DO THE SAME!!!

Usually the President can only get away with this kind of spending when his party is in control of congress. What do we do with a democratic congress that can't stop that kind of spending?

A billion here, a billion there...

The dance of billions and billions (one billion = 1,000 million) is going to result in the abandoning of the USD as the currency of world trade, and the countries that are able to initiate this are the ones we are antagonizing the most: Iran and Russia. The Republican administration, and this ultra-sorry congress, obviously have no concept of large numbers. I suppose it is like: "when the water is over your head, what does it matter how deep it is?".

"I can't wait until tomorrow, because I get more lovable every day."
