5. Religious right pandering

USA GDP is currently estimated at almost $14 trillion. If we spent $10 million every day since Jesus was born, we wouldn't be anywhere near the wealth generated by the United States in a single year.

It's an illegitimate comparison (apples to gravel) that minimizes the problem in a way designed to guilt trip all those bleeding heart evangelicals who supported Obama.
