Yet MORE Blatant Thievery

Stolen from a comment by Joan of Argghh at Lex's place... a visual aid for those concerned about the fiscal effects of the latest round of bail-outs, which begins with the dimensions of a single dollar bill and progresses to this:

And ends with an illustration of what a stack of one-dollar bills totaling $315 billion looks like. Now multiply that by THREE and you have the approximate size of the "stimulus" The One is proposing. Where the HELL is all that money gonna come from? I'm thinking the Chinese just may have had enough of this shi'ite... defined as our profligate ways... so my question remains: "Where's it gonna come from?"

This fiscal irresponsibility is rapidly becoming the ONE thing that scares the livin' BeJeezus out of me... more so than the threat of terrorism. And it's a self-inflicted wound.
