I mean, he can’t even count to 3 let alone comprehend what 3 trillion is. Unfortunately though, the way the Senate Democrats allowed the Shrub’s gang to stomp all over them (and all of us citizens) yesterday with the Iraq war debate vote, I am sure he’ll get his way on this as well! Such a sorry state of affairs here I believe — and getting worse by the minute!!</p> Yes Christy, Dumbya’s budget submission is a real joke, just like him!
