| A calm Sunday breakfast might have been ruined after a glance at the Washington Post's front page on June 14. A chart below the fold explained that under Obama's federal spending proposals, the U.S. would be required to borrow $9 trillion during the next decade. That's $9,000,000,000.

| #2 IIRC, this morning's radio said 44% were for BO's Plan, 34% of the scummy Trunks were against it, and 22% needed to see more details. If the 22% would wake up, it'd be 66% against... |
