To expand on my last post, and to put it into perspective the amount of money we are talking about, let's think of a trillion as $100.

Go turn that money into pennies, now you have 10,000 pennies. Think of how big a stack of ten thousand pennies is. If that stack represented 1 trillion dollars, each penny would represent 100 million dollars.

Now realize that the government has said they are going to give 12 stacks of those away, but is going to spend days trying to get less then two pennies back. This is the definition of retarded.

 

 Very good analogy. I find it hilarious as well that people are fussing over 165 million for the bonuses , while trillions of dollars have been looted from the American people.
