Citizens Rally Against Crazy Government Spending

As many as 2 million Americans marched in DC today to protest government spending. Check out cool photos from Capitalist Coffee (what a great name for a blog!) and the Rhetorican (now with a cool time-lapse video).

Because, frankly, government spending is already ridiculous, and the Obama Administration's plans to spend even more are insane. The latest estimate is that in 10 years, the national deficit will be $10 trillion.

So many a citizen is voicing his or her concern. The response from Pelosi and Reid and the other wretched scoundrels in DC has been to dump on everyone who doesn't agree with them. With the latest round of protests, I also await a fresh wave of petulant wailing, hateful accusations, and temper tantrums from the DC crowd and the White House. Hey, note to DC: You work for US, the citizens -- not the other way around.

UPDATE 1: This photo from the Corner made me laugh. Well, you're all well aware of my opinion of this current Congress.

UPDATE 2: These aren't your flaky run-of-the-mill professional protesters, mind you. These were 2 million people with jobs.
