A $787 Billion Roman Holiday

Just in time for Nancy's whirl-wind European tour, the House passed the Stimulus bill. Fun facts about the bill:

- Zero Republican "Yeas"
- 7 Democrat "Nays"
- Language in the bill was not released until 11pm last night
- Dems broke promise to not vote on the bill until 48 hrs after release of language
- Oh, and it costs $787 BILLION

I feel like this is a Master Card (which is ironic in light of the credit crisis) commercial gone wrong:

Saving the bank industry, $700 Billion
Saving the auto-industry, $25 Billion
"Stimulating" the economy, $787 Billion
Falling down the Congressional Rabbit Hole....priceless or just terrifying?

*BTW: Total spent thus far = $1 Trillion, 512 Billion
