$3T for the Iraq war, $700B for the bailouts and now $825B for the stimulus

[RB TexLa]

Is there anyone in Congress or on Obama's transition team talking about when and how we repay this?

1. Repay?

The plan is to not be there when that has to happen. None of these guys has the slightest clue as to how the borrowed money might ever be repaid. All they know is that at present they can freely loot the public coffers, and that's what they plan to do.

2. Sure. The deficit hawks are coming out of the woodwork...

This is exactly why sane people were pointing out the huge cost of the Iraq rat-hole for seven years. We blew trillions on Iraq, for no reason. Now, we really need some money for important problems, and that $3T debt is making it harder to spend the $825B.

For the GOP, no amount of money or debt is too much to spend on killing people. But when anybody tries to spend a fraction of that money on actually helping people, suddenly they are all about "fiscal responsibility."

I hope the Obama team, and liberals everywhere, tell them to fuck off. If we don't, Grover Norquist wins.
