The Stimulus Package: $3 Million Per Word

Well, the House of Representatives passed the Stimulus Bill. It totaled $789 billion dollars and was 1071 pages in length. If you use the generally accepted word count of 250 words for a type written page, that's about $3 million dollars per word.

Now, I might be wrong, but how thoughtful and how specific could anyone be in pounding out a spending program, seasoned with a few tax cuts, at a rate of "3 MILLION DOLLARS PER WORD"! And, they passed it without anyone ever really reading it! Just unbelievable!

Also. Don't ever forget. They passed this bill on Friday the 13th.
