To help illustrate, if a man was to get $1 every second, he would be $1 million richer in just 11.5 days. Continuing to get a dollar a second, it would take 32 years to become a billionaire. How long would it take to become a trillionaire??? He would have to be 32,000 years old. Saving this $100 million would be the equivalent of shaving a penny off of something that cost $100. This is who you elected as your president, folks... hope you're happy.

100 days or so....
The government now basically owns the credit in the country
The government bails out GM and converts stock to common so operating decisions can be made by the government
The President will now use reconcilliation on the health care stituation
The congress has passed (without reading) a "stimulus bill" that was basically earmarks and social programs.
That "stimulus bill" was also loaded with "strings" to insure that states, in particular, would be beholden to the national government.
The national debt is so high it is difficult to even describe.
With all the praising and back slapping going on, this must be what everyone wanted !!
