"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
And so goes the doublespeak from Congress.
The White Queen: "Can you do addition? What's one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one?"
Alice: "I don't know. I lost count."
And so goes the 'rithmetic in the US Congress.
$78 billion lost in the TARP endeavor, a pork bill called a stimulous package and our representatives appear to be smoking what the Caterpillar smokes.So, here we go down a rabbit hole, relying on our Congressional Brain Trust.
The Red Queen (Nancy Pelosi)
The Mad Hatter (Harry Reid)
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (Charlie Rangel and Barney Franks)
The March Hare (John Conyers)
The DorMouse (Henry Waxman)
