Speaking of zero's jobs bill, I just signed a Teaparty petition against it (184,000+ sigs so far). One of the comments I really liked:
Edmund R. from Winter Haven, FL writes: Cut the spending
• U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
• Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
• New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
• National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
• Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000
Now, remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget …• Annual family income: $21,700
• Money the family spent: $38,200
• New debt on the credit card: $16,500
• Outstanding balance on credit card: $142,710
• Total budget cuts: $385
Sort of brings the true issue "home" doesn't it?
