How Much Does The Stimulus Weigh?

Each bill of United States Currency weighs one gram. I can see you reaching for your wallet and your digital scales right now to fact-check, so here’s a link to show you:

Hang on, I’m headed somewhere with this. Let’s say we had a pile of one dollar bills….787 billion of them- same as the Stimulus Package. How much would that cash weigh?

86,759 TONS

That’s more than an Iowa class battleship.

Or put another way, according to Senator Lamar Alexander, (much better at numbers than me), if you spent a million dollars a week, starting the day Jesus Christ was born. You would still have money left over. And you could spend it on a new calculator because the old one just died of shock.

and to think, over 85 thousand tons of this cash is for spending, and not for stimulus. We the People, have become “them” to our government. It’s time we stopped taking this laying down.

Is it just me, or is Nancy Pelosi starting to look like Casey Anthony?

I wouldn’t follow Bambi’s “leadership” into a flag football game.

This guy is great…

“10 yards is a lot guys, lets do our best to make 7″
“To ensure we dont fumble, drop to a knee on the snap”
“No one on the D-line, all 11 can drop back to make sure they dont score”
“There are 4 quarters in a game???”

The Joker is back. Pelosi has her smile back, having been photo’d for the first time with a frown, making her nearly unrecognizable to the public. Don’t think this is from a quick botox fix. Think she and slick Willy snuck off while Hillary was gone.

It might be even worse than anybody thinks:

“This bubble of government makes all other economic bubbles that have come before seem puny by comparison. Furthermore, this bubble is uniquely world wide. As liquidity is running out and credit is drying up, many nations are in a chain reaction realizing the hot air on which their financial and political systems stand. In any case the dreams of Obama, the RINOs, and the Democrats will become painfully deflated as the era of big government comes to a close.

It may seem odd in this political climate to say big government will soon be a thing of the past, but it is. Like a decapitated chicken running mindlessly down the road, it just hasn’t stopped moving yet.”

Anything bad that happens, it’s Republican’s fault, anything good happens, it’s because the stimulus is working! And if it still isn’t working, hey, we vaguely told you it would get worse before it gets better didn’t we?

All bases are covered, now prepare for the propaganda machine to kick in from now until the people realize the plan didn’t work.

Anybody heard of the 1920 depression? I know I hadn’t. It seems the USA was in and out of it so fast that no one noticed (well I’m sure some did). Why you ask! Because from what I read the Federal government did nothing. What a concept. The O hole would be better off sitting on his thumb.

RE: “$13.00 a pay? Ooooh, I feel so stimulated!”

Yeah, me too.

Let’s get this straight, if $13.00 a pay gets us out of a depression, is it reasonable to conclude that when the $13.00 stop we’ll be back in a depression?

I’m just aksing.

I always thought it was “doofus”, but you’re dead right on the M.O. – this is from the Clinton’s Somalia playbook: “Muck around for a couple months, then declare victory!” (eighteen dead, WTF) They’ll have experts and charts and stuff to show us just how Porkulus saved our bacon, and it’ll be in the New York Times so you’ll know it’s true. I rather think we’ll see Porkulus 2 by St. Paddy’s Day, so they spend all that they can before they tank in the polls. But don’t you just wish you were a fly on the wall for those committee meetings? Remember when Louie DiPalma was shaking down Ignatowski’s dad, and Louie tortured himself over what would be “the right number – not too high… not too low… kinda in here…”? Barney DiPalma, right? And I learned on Leno the other night that “Stimulus Bill” was really one of President Clinton’s nicknames.

From L-R they are, Representative Rosa DeLauro, Representative James Oberstar, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Representative George Miller.

DeLauro is a Representative from Connecticut.

She is also the person who was providing Rahm Emanuel free housing until very recently.
