11.6 Million Per Hour

The cost of the Bush Tax Cuts.

The National Priorities Project, in partnership with Citizens for Tax Justice, has released a new site tracking the ever-growing cost of the Bush tax cuts. They found that the tax cuts for only the richest 5 percent of Americans “cost the U.S. Treasury $11.6 million every hour of every day.”

I recommend passing around this eye-brow raising website to everyone you know. This is what should be scrolling across Time Square for everyone who walks by to see.
