Money Perspective from Lucianne

Lucianne.com is just about my favorite for news aggregators and most days they have a political cartoon that just fits the bill.  Given that my hopes were crushed when MY numbers weren’t the winning ones in this week’s Mega-Million, this put things into context.  WE ordinary people look at that $640 million won (out of the $1.5 Billion actually paid in) as being a Bid Deal (we’re more polite than Joe Biden of BFD fame).  But to our Federal (out-of-control-spending) Government?

Lucianne_2012-04-01: $640 Million is 80 minutes of spending for FedsNo, not a regular player – first time.  And was going to buy only 1 ticket until TMEW made the decision: 5 tickets.  Knowing that the lottery is a tax on people who can’t do math, I generally only buy 1 at a time and only when the amounts go way up – it makes it easier to daydream to sleep most nights (and probably cheaper than sleeping pills too)
