Thanks, Grampa Dave. Excellent tagline; good comments in the thread.

Obama’s new Czar, for “Green Jobs” Anthony “Van” Jones freely admits he’s a proud San Francisco Communist with an arrest record.

Because the media has no integrity and works against us, except for Fox News, we have heard little or nothing about this. The amount of damage this confirmed member of Obama’s secret “cabinet” will do as “Green Czar” is frightening to the core.

With his signature this radical unelected party apparatchik will be able to crush America’s economy to help Obama’s plans to destroy our country.

His website “Green for all” carries this telling quote from Comrade Jones on his new position, “… we’re going to be in an economic slowdown for a couple of years. So to take three months, four months, six months to spend this money the right way-we’re not going to get a chance to spend a trillion dollars again! Ever. So let’s do it the right way!” Today just six months of Marxist rule has brought our national debt to one TRILLION DOLLARS!

Somewhere, I once read if a person has a Million dollars and spends a dollar a minute, it will take thirty days to spend it all; if the person has a Billion dollars and spends a dollar a minute, it will take thirty years to spend it all.

The message needs to get to the talk show hosts so the truth can be spread via the air waves.

Someone fluked aritmetic. There are 60 minutes in a hour, 24 hours in a day, that makes 1440 minutes per day. To spend $1M at 1 dollar per minute would take 694.4 days, or 1.9 years. To spend a $1B it would take 1000 times as long, or 1902.59 years.

So if someone had started spending that billion at the time of Christ's birth, they wouldn't have finished by the time my maternal grandmother was born (1898), let alone my other grandparents, who were all older.
