"you can't put a value on a human life"

Sure you can!!!

It's done every day - it's called "life insurance".

... I'm on a roll - here goes:

Advice to Dems: monetize everything.

That $440,000 the AIG execs spent on a weekend retreat would support more than 8 median-income families for a year!!!

For a weekend!
Let's say it was a 4-day weekend... If we annualize that, it's 803 median-income families for a year!

When every government decision favors big biz, at the expense of every other constituency, something is wrong.

Monetize EVERYTHING.
Express EVERY Republican decision in terms $$$.

What's Iraq cost?
More than $300 for every man, woman, and child in the U.S. per year.

What's the $7Bn bailout cost?
More than $2,000 for every man, woman, and child in the U.S.

As previously noted, the cost of McCain's mortgage plan would employ 6Mn Americans - perhaps employ them doing something useful, like rebuilding our infrastructure. - Gainfully employ 'em!!! Make 'em useful citizens... which might not be such a bad thing after the economy has shed 750,000 jobs since Jan!!!

Even folks in Kansas ought to understand real $$$.

Stop the madness!!!
