I was going to use the 'pot/kettle' analogy, but this is even better.

(hat tip: Protein Wisdom)

But wait, there's more!

Excerpt:

$314 BILLION IN PAYOFFS TO DEMOCRAT CONSTITUENCIES

• $83 billion in welfare payments (the earned income credit for people who don't pay income tax)

• $81 billion for Medicaid


• $66 billion on "education", more than the entire Department of Education required just ten years ago


• $36 billion for expanded unemployment benefits


• $20 billion for food stamps


• $8 billion on "renewable energy" projects, which have a low or negative return


• $7 billion for "modernizing federal buildings and facilities"


• $6 billion on urban transit systems, dominated by unions and which, almost universally, lose money


• $2.4 billion for "carbon-capture demonstration projects"


• $2 billion for child-care subsidies


• $1 billion for Amtrak, the federal railroad that's run in the red for 40 years


• $650 million for "digital TV conversion coupons" (on top of billions already spent)


• $600 million on new cars for government (added to the $3 billion already spent each year)


• $400 million for "global-warming research"


• $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts


BUT NOT A PENNY FOR DEFENSE
In fact, it's 55 billion LESS for defense......

We can't say we weren't warned ahead of time.

All this in less than two weeks, with MUCH more to come, I'm sure.
