4. George Bush treats taxpayer money like:
A whore with a new box of condoms;

A heroin addict with a new needle;

An alcoholic with a fresh bottle;

A coke head alone with white powder on a table.

Sad. :(

A 1 million dollar debt in 1850 would be worth $174,201,732.10 today (assuming standard 3.5% inflation.)

Still not a pretty thought...
