Global "New Deal?" How many $ trillions will it cost us in the end?

Can't postthe entire article from Drudge for some reason, but was able to cut and paste this, about prime minister Gordon Brown wooing Obama into the idea:

The prime minister will borrow from the rhetoric of Franklin Roosevelt, who introduced the government-financed New Deal to tackle the US Depression of the 1930s. He will argue that his 21st century "œglobal new deal" will also require public spending on a huge world-wide scale.

We all know that as bailouts go, the recipients keep coming back for more. Maybe we can put this one on ourgreat, great grandkids' tab? After all, we don't want people in other countries suffering as long as we can still borrow to bail them out!

Oh, that's it? What a bargain! Fire up the printing presses!

It is more like that number that comes after trillion. It may not be long before we start hearing that one. When you get past a trillion and start multiplying it, it gets to be real money. The fact that would would spend a dime in Gaza just sickens me. Are we going to keep supporting Israel then help rebuild their enemies? Who the hell is running this deal anyway?
