Day Nine: $4.8285 Billion (Sept 17, 2008)

Policy announcement #9: $4,828,500,000
Today's announcement brought to you by: basic addition, multiplication, and the CCSD!


Running Total: $8,408,500,000
This is getting to be a big number.


Cost to each taxpayer: $254.99 ($8.4085 Billion between 32.976M of us)
How much you must earn for your share of new taxes to cover the Liberal platform to be 10% of what you make: $2549.90


Can I afford $254.99? No, not really. This is starting to add up. There are real things I could be spending this on. Heck, I could even start thinking about putting this kind of money into my savings.


Things you can buy with $254.99:
209 Medium cups of Tim Horton's coffee ($1.22);


3 Pairs of women's jeans from Banana Republic ($78.00);


1 Compaq LE-1640 Computer ($249.99);
