Fine Video/Illustration of the Trillions Being Spent

Two minutes, forty-three seconds worth of perspective.

Really; if we are spending a multiple of what it cost to defeat Italian fascism, Naziism, and Japanese imperialism; I expect some serious results from this orgy of spending.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Impressive use of graphics to illustrate the magnitude of money involved.

Forwarded.  Thank you!

To the "man on the street", dumbed down relentlessly by years of our so called  "public school system", there is little difference between a million, a billion, and a trillion. Hey, they are all just "illions", right?  If you can't balance a checkbook, than "no prob, bro."
