9. Wait a minute. Now it's FOUR hundred million?

Last I checked it was 300 million dollars.

Just another example of "fiscally responsible" Republican leadership.

It amazes me that so many people still think Republicans are good with budgets, especially when the last time we had a Federal budget SURPLUS was under President Clinton.

Four hundred million for a vanity ballroom, two hundred million for a cos-play cowgirl's ad campaign, and how many millions for Kegs-breath's Alaska king crab and high end steaks?

Oh, and a billion dollars they just paid to a French company NOT to build some wind turbines.

But we simply don't have the money to provide quality health care for all. Not when we're waging an improv war at a billion plus dollars a day.

How the ever-loving fuck do these people get away with it, time after time after time?
