nothing wrong with compassion and taking care of people who can t fend for themselves. that population is rising due to anti abortion folks and autism as well as inadequate care of returning vets. that is different from warrens proposal for billions of dollars in loans to minority entrepreneurs is just going to be pouring money down the drain. I would love to see military spending cut in half. BTW not to say that the Bushes were great presidents but the mortgage fiasco all started with the community reinvestment act and Clintons push to increase home ownership, and we can blame the Obama administration for not putting people in jail for committing ridiculous amounts of fraud.

20 trillion = 22096 mile high stack of $100 bills (assuming 0.007 inch thick). We should never talk about TRILLIONS without a context.
