AN INTERESTING STATISTIC
The Republicans just ran up our National debt by one point four trillion dollars ( $1,400,000,000,000.00)
If you were to bang a hammer on a surface once every second, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year - it would take you forty-fore thousand years (44,000) to equal the dollar value of the Republican National debt increase.
ONE TRILLION DOLLARS IS A FUCKING BIG NUMBER.
the Ol'Buzzard
700 bilion dollars was given to the banking and insurance industries in 2008 to cover their gambling losses. The democrats continued the giveaway after they took over. I think the total cash & guarantees was well over a trillion dollars.
ReplyDeleteRemember Reagan & the trickle down economics? Remember the huge tax cut Bush & the oil boys did for the corporations & wealthy right before invading Iraq & Afghanistan?
Nothing has changed, enjoy your outrage at what they are doing to our grandchildren....and their grandchildren.
A trillion dollars is a lot of money, a trillion borrowed is a HUGE amount of money.
