1. I like it, but I think it would be more effective with the numbers written out.

$2,600,000,000,000
$2,000,000,000,000
$300,000,000,000
$6,000,000,000

Still two thumbs up!

[Dawgs]

8. Agree but this way would be better..IMO

2600 Billion
2000 Billion
300 Billion
6 Billion

[denverbill]

26. Mail every single person who deserves their benefits how evil the GOP is

Wicked cutters of the poor. I bet many of these people who have been denied benefits are actually republicans

[ReRe]

29. I like the zeros added...

... It is much more damning.

[Initech]

4. I want every Pic of the moment to be part of the campaign this year

These most excellent summaries should become part of the Mid-term campaigns

I think DU should raise money specifically to get these out in the public view.

[oldandhappy]

20. Agree!!

5. Pic Of The Moment: Funny How That Works...

The Repuglicons want you to pay for the insurance and not receive payment for your claim under that insurance plan. I thought a contract was inviolate to them.

[NewJeffCT]

6. so, $5,000,000,000,000 is okay, but $6,000,000,000 is not?

what a crock

[liberal N proud]

11. It is pure hate

[ReRe]

30. Pure unadulterated, unmitigated...

...evil incarnate.

[Berlum]

13. Flagrant Republicon Hypocrisy. As usual.

And the Repubbies wonder why no one trusts them or respects them.

[C0RYH0FFMAN]

14. I agree with the sentiment but....

Democrats need to get away from the notion that Federal Government Spending is "paid for". The GOP is obviously hypocritical but we should not go after them for being hypocrites. We should go after them because the notion that "government spending is out of control" or could even possibly be out of control is a fallacy.

The Federal Government is the issuer of U.S. dollars. It can always credit banks accounts with dollars to pay for anything it wants. We can always purchase anything available for sale in U.S. dollars. The notion that extending aid to our Poor, huddled masses and millions of unemployed brothers and sisters needs to "be paid for" is utter nonsense.

There is no such thing as "paying for" Federal Government spending with taxes in any real sense.

Every Democrat must read former Democratic Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Frank N. Newman's book "Freedom From National Debt". It costs like $5 at Amazon.com.

In my humble opinion, we do not have to bother with calling GOPers hypocrites. Of course they are. Better to focus on the fact that the premises of their entire political ideology are false.

21. yep!!

Unstoppable hypocrisy.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. What % of Kentucky Votes will believe it?

I would bet that full page ads in the Louisville paper
wouldn't sway most of them.

The truth is not an antidote to true believers.

[Stuart G]

23. I think this chart is very very special. Maybe the best.

Simple, easy to understand, certainly honest and truthful. So it needs to be passed on to Grimes who is running against the turtle.

and here is an important point:

There are enough unemployed in Kentucky, and this is so easy to understand, that this one could make a huge difference.
Perhaps, with zeros, only cause I am not sure everyone knows how much a trillion is. But maybe not. this in my opinion is a truly
great post that says everything that needs to be said.

[secondvariety]

24. Look at the Turtle - lol.

Your Pic of the Moment makes my day.

[niyad]

25. the sad thing is, this is not in the least surprising.

[tclambert]

28. Well, but billion is a big number. And trillion sounds made up. So it must be smaller.

They aren't mathematicians, you know. You don't have to know what a hypotenuse is to run for Congress. And if you're Republican, you can't acknowledge the word hypocrite.

[ReRe]

31. K&R

Leave it up to the Republicans to legislate while insane. Especially McConnell.

[davidpdx]

32. I hope the gal running against him hammers him on these

Unemployment makes a big difference for families who lost their jobs and are struggling. The amount is a drop in the bucket compared to the other three.

[Theyletmeeatcake2]

33. What's wrong with simply saying "one thousand times more spending!!!"

A lot simpler !!

[athenasatanjesus]

34. There should be a picture of an American centrist with a caption saying

democrats and republicans are equally bad at spending.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

35. Make it viral, DU.
