Think of all of the energy that some folks are putting into killing the $13 million DC voucher program. Then consider the following:
The DC voucher program is 0.024% of the size of the $54 billion stabilization fund in the stimulus package, meaning it would take 4,153 voucher programs of this size to equal the stabilization fund.
This is the difference between the GDPs of the United States ($13.8 trillion) and Rwanda ($3.3 billion).
This is the difference between the populations of New York City (8.3 million) and Casselton, North Dakota (1,900).
This is the difference between the calories in 400 Big Macs (230,400) and one apple (55).
The difference between the volume of the earth and Jupiter (1:1,300) is less than one-third of the difference between these two programs.
Is killing DC vouchers really this important?
