MaxTax will cost about $775 billion over 10 years. That's a lot of money, as the GOP is pointing out.
Would you like to know how long $775 billion would last in the Department of Defense? Well, if you add the base budget and supplementals for 2010, $775 billion would last. . .
14 lousy, goddamn months.
That's right, the most-debated bill of this Congress, the one currently being slammed by Republicans and their Blue lapDogs for being so expensive, would manage to fund our bloated military-industrial complex for just one year and two months.
Feel free to pass this dose of perspective on to your representatives in Congress.
