i was at home depot today getting some wire cut

for my new hot tub (yea!) and While i was waiting i was chatting to with the electrical guy. The topic turned to the cost of copper (6/4 flex costs 3.95 a foot!) and i mentioned the cost of the copper on a penny is now more expensive than the penny.. "He then said you know who is all responsible for this didn't i?" Well, i got ready for a Clinton slam, as he looked rather red-necky. I was very pleasantly surprised to hear a slam on Shrub.. :) We ranted on about bush for 5 min or so. He used to be a bush supporter, but with a 9 trillion dollar debt, and Iraq, and all the other stuff, he is re-registering democrat. As he said, "a blow job isn't so bad. With 9 trillion dollars, you could buy blow jobs for everyone on the planet!"

Well that got me thinking. with 9,000,000,000,000 divided between 6,000,000,000 people, that's $1500 per person. That's a hell of a lot of cash for 300,000,000 people of the united states to have charged up on the national credit card...
