President Obama has just been sworn into office. He’s hittin’ the ground running to fix the economy. In the recent years the tab to fix this economy adds up to about $8 trillion including Obama’s economic stimulus plan.
Bail: 8 Gagillion Million Billion.... dollars.
16 Times the Iraq War
Last time I talked about the Iraq war costing each of us 10 of the finest Visiondecor dining chairs. This time the $8 trillion bailout is 16 times the $500 billion cost of the Iraq War.
Expensive!
Since this is such an expensive number, let me pick one of our most expensive items to put this into perspective. Let’s take our beautiful $3800 5PC Newcastle Collection California Cal King Size Bed Complete Bedroom Set. You can get about 2.1 billion of these bedroom sets at the price tag of the bailouts right now.
Can you use 7 Bedroom Sets?
Each and every one of us 303 million American citizens will be able to get 7 of these bedroom sets. Which is about $26,600 per person. That’s a lot of sleeping we have to do to make use of all those bedroom sets.
This is my second Furniture dollars post and these numbers are getting scary. What are your thoughts?

My thoughts??? Well, I’m so gosh darn scared…I think I’ll sleep thru the next 4 years on one of your beautiful beds and pray to the Almighty to watch over us All!!!
Seriously, well I was. LOL. Let me say that I just stumbled into your website & I love your selection & variety. So much so that I just emailed my best friend who happens to be looking for bedroom furniture & told her to buy here from you. She’s been looking for something similar to what I saw here.
Thanks for the chuckle & hold on to your seatbelt I think we’re in for a Long bumpy ride.
I’ll be back soon to do some shopping of my own.
Be Well.
