Huge dollar numbers, today, are tossed around like they are almost meaningless...trillions and billions of dollars! Let's put things into perspective. The City of Chicopee, Massachusetts has a population of approximately 55,000 people. The median income per household is $36,000 per year and the average income per capita is only $19,000. Approximately 12.3% of the population are below the poverty line.
The most recent annual budget, fiscal year 2010, of the City of Chicopee is $148 million.
Yet an organization like ACORN, that the American people know is widely corrupt, was slated to get $8.5 billion of taxpayer "stimulus" money!
Now let's put that into perspective. That $8.5 billion slated to be given to a corrupt organization would pay for the annual budget of Chicopee, Massachusetts for 57 years!! That's right, 57 years!
Think about it.
