Feed Your Family on $10 Billion a Day
Seems like these days I hear a lot of whiney whiners whiningabout "out of control government spending" and "insane deficits" and such, trying to make hay out of a bunch of pointy-head boring finance hooey. Sure, $3.7 trillion of spending sounds like a big number. "Oh, boo-hoo, how are we going to get $3.7 trillion dollars? We're broke, boo-hoo-hoo," whine the whiners. What these skinflint crybabies fail to realize is that $3.7 trillion is for an entire year - which translates into only a measly $10 billion per day! -- iowahawk

Your Say
Mr. V - Thank you for pointing out this link. It presents a very enlightening illustration of our financial travails ahead. I wish that I could get a few million "progressives" to read (and understand) it.
