68 for 16, eh?

We can’t even bother to ask where our sorry excuse for a Congress is anymore.

That money would be better spent on killing the bad guys causing all the problems.

The money would be better spent by the taxpayers from whom it was stolen.

They’re printing it as fast as they can, but the Obamanites can’t spend it fast enough so they’re giving it away to our enemies.
Congress stands by and does nothing. As usual.
