Need help with numbers to refute facebook relative that I will soon delete...

[archiemo]

Here's his latest post: $100,000,000,000,000,000 Obama's first year in office $20,000,000,000,000,000 cost of Middle East War since 2001 Maybe Bush wasnt so bad!

First off, I don't know the "illion" number that is supposed to represent beyond trillion. I'm assuming this came from some RW site or talking head but don't have the time to try to find it. Anybody seen this or have a source to refute this? I appreciate any help as I have to leave for an appointment and want to get something up there fairly quick. THANKS!!!

2. Ask them for a source that isn't The Heritage Foundation or Fox News

Whenever conservatives start throwing out "facts" the best way to counter them is to make them provide a legitimate source. 99% of the time they are just quoting some shite they heard from Rush or Glen Beck. In other words, bullshit.

3. Just asked him for his source...

I let him know that the statistic really troubled me and that I wanted to check it out for myself. We'll see what he says...

4. if you pop in the following on FB:

Center for American Progress, AlterNet, Bernie Sanders have all posted relevant numbers on FB today. Also, check out some of the discussion threads for those sites on FB - good comments, more numbers.

7. That's "one hundred quadrillion dollars." The reason you don't know the "illion" number

that comes after "trillion" is because you never heard it on tv re: govt. spending. Not even Faux. It's a lie.
