Acting President George Walker Bush revealed his new budget today for FY2009, and it’s the first to top $3 trillion! To put “$3 trillion” in perspective: that’s $30 billion times infinity, plus several billion more dollars.
It includes large increases in military spending and cuts “savings” in Medicare and Medicaid. When asked why the Pentagon needed all this cash, Bush said, “War on Syria, we’re three weeks in. I mean… er… hey, did you see that hot new black guy running for president? He’s right over there!”
Yay, Barack Obama!
