Add another $1.6 trillion in extra deficit, don’t be fooled by the acting on Capital Hill over the AIG bonuses

Michelle Malkin has a syndicated column today adding up all the spending that’s been going on while the AIG-bashing hypocrites on the Hill whine and moan about the $165 million in corporate bonuses none of them bothered to stop before they rushed to fork over billions to AIG in the first place. Among other things she mentions in her column is the little-noticed $6 billion GIVE Act, which just passed the House. Also note the rising cost of the $2 trillion cap-and-trade scheme, which vigilant GOP Sen. James Inhofe has been red-flagging. And lastly she mentions a Reuters story in which Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad said on Thursday that he expects federal deficit spending will be about $1.6 trillion more over the next 10 years than what B. Hussein Obama original budget plan forecasted for.
