Funny: Real World D.C. (Health-Care Edition)

Now THIS is reality TV!

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Washington D.C. and our federal government?

Answer: The true story… of 535 politicians…picked to live in two houses…work together and have their lives taped…to find out what happens…when Congress stops being polite…and starts secret, detailed negotiations on a sweeping, transformative health care reform bill…

Welcome to the absolutely REAL and accurate Real World D.C.!

HAHA! Nicely done Reason TV and props to Meredith Bragg for writing and producing this video.

Side-Note: I still can’t believe House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) actually muttered those words regarding the current health-care reform bill… I think that lady is really starting to lose all of her marbles as each day passes… Poor gal.

Funny: Worst Political Decade Ever

Is it though?

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the political world over the past decade?

Answer: Reason.tv says it was the worst political decade… ever.

Haha. The video by Nick Gillespie from Reason TV is pretty creative, but was this really the worst political decade…ever?

Ed Morrissey does a little bit of reminiscing on some the past political decades:

I’ll offer a few options for worst decade. The 1970s had an impeachment, the sacking of an American embassy, and stagflation that an interim President attempted to fight with … lapel buttons. The 1960s had a series of assassinations and social unrest. We fought a world war in the 1940s, and won it only to be confronted with a Cold War that would last more than four decades. The 1930s brought economic ruin and introduced massive expansions of federal government and authority that still haunt us. And don’t even get me started about the 1860s, which almost tore the country apart.

Hmm… Decisions… Decisions…

Side-Note: I love Howard Dean’s scream that was placed right at the very end. It added a nice touch on to the video, haha.

Video: What The $1.4 Trillion Federal Deficit Would Buy

$1.4 trillion... Ouch!

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the United States’ budget deficit for the fiscal year 2009?

Answer: You could buy a lot of stuff with $1.4 TRILLION!

Here is a nice, little informational video that almost makes you depressed. And in case you’re wondering, the previous record had been set in 2008 – thanks Bush.

But hey! Lets not hate on Mr. Bush too much now. After all, The Messiah (Barack Obama) was able to triple that for the fiscal year 2009! Yay! Like Rahm Emanuel said: Don’t waste a crisis. And I remember when liberals complained about Bush’s spending… What happened?

Don’t worry, because hopefully the atrocious spending will stop soon. Oh wait, I forgot the Obama administration estimates another $1.4 trillion for the fiscal year 2010 budget deficit. Great…

Side-Note: Very interesting little video. On the issue of setting government spending records: DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!
