What Would Jesus Spend?

Anti-stimulus ad focuses on the scale of new government spending.

Christianity Today February 20, 2009

First we had “What would Jesus drive?” Then we had “How would Jesus vote?” Now, apparently, we have “What would Jesus spend?” The answer, according to a conservative anti-stimulus video ad making the rounds, might be, “Not as much as Barack Obama.”

The 60-second spot, funded by the American Issues Project, states:

“Suppose you spent $1 million every single day starting from the day Jesus was born – and kept spending through today. A million dollars a day for more than 2,000 years. You would still have spent less money than Congress just did.”
