Dem Stimulus = $1 million each day since Jesus Christ’s birth
It’s huge.
No wonder this ship is sinking.

Christ’s birth in year zero, times 365, times 2009, gets you 733,285,000,000, or a bit over $733 billion. (Yes, I’m leaving out leap years.) You’re not even three-quarters of the way there. (Politifact calculates from 4 B.C.)
