LOL!

When I was Hangar Deck Officer in Kitty Hawk, we could always find more room!

Never had to put that sign out.

What you're looking at is the deck of the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan covered in the vehicles of Navy Sailors heading to Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Washington. At a cost of about $4.5 billion this is probably the world's most expensive parking lot.

The cost of this parking lot is both comforting and frightening, depending on you political inclinations.

I'm in the "comforted" camp.

That is the amount that Obama and the wannabe socialists in Congress are spending every day (40% of which is borrowed money earning interest forever,) 365 days a year into the forseeable future.

The RINOS still don't get it. This is unsustainable, and the TEA Party is still right; spending it now and paying it back "someday" is a radical socialist's wet dream. Only the insane would consider that a rational compromise.
