Now forget the obvious PR nightmare that Planned Parenthood would have known a hypothetical "Aportionplex" would cause, the real clencher here is the dollar figure. $8 BILLION. With a "B."
It seems that the gigantic numbers thrown around in Washington have caused people to lose perspective on what things actually cost. We have become literally numb to the cost of spending, especially in the billions. And even trillions no longer elicit the same outcry. Pretty soon we'll be shrugging at a quadrillion.
