$200 billion as seen from a different perspective.

[Fed Up]

If you lined up $100 bills end to end, and did this for 189,000 miles, the total would add up to $200 billion.

An airplane flying over them at 700 MPH would take 11 days to complete the trip. Astonishing, isn't it? I mean, think of how far a plane goes in just one minute. 11 days of flying over $100 bills. That is how much money George Bush has cost us with this war.

That kind of puts it in perspective. Too many people, mostly uneducated people, think, "a million, a billion, a trillion, it doesn't matter as long as we solve the problem."

And thanks to those same people, we are stuck with this dope for four more.

Where is the outrage from fiscal conservatives and their watchdog groups? I guess Bush has neutered them.

1. A rich old man married a trophy wife, only to find out she insisted

her mother was to move in with them. Not wanting to disturb the progress of his honeymoon by murdering her, he decided to send the old gal shopping. He gave her $1000 a day.

A million dollars would keep her out of his hair for about 3 years.

A billion dollars would keep her gone for 3,000 years.

200 billion dollars would keep her away for 600,000 years.

That's how much it is.
