Just How Big is $3.8 Trillion?

$3.8 trillion is the size of Obama's budget that he just submitted to Congress. Rush Limbaugh has a listener to gave him a good way to put that number in perspective:

'Rush, use George Clooney to explain the magnitude of the Obama $3.8 trillion budget. Clooney's telethon for Haiti raised $66 million. Big number, right? Well, George Clooney would have to have a $66 million telethon every day for the next 158 years to match Obama's spending in this budget. Does that help put it in perspective?' A $66 million telethon every day for the next 158 years! Wow, shocking, shocking, shocking. But it is a great way to illustrate just how much money that we don't have that Obama is spending."

Better get to work, Hollywood.
