Click on the link below & look at the U.S. debt. Can't get a handle on how much a million, billion, or trillion is, click on the link & you will be astounded. www.wtfnoway.com/ |

Been there, your right!  I didn't even notice. I found it on another website & was fascinated by the pictures of the money. While I had a vague idea of how much a billion dollars was, I was blown away by the trillion dollars example. I have a hard time (even now) comprehending that we owe 17 of those! |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I know I'm beating a dead horse here but: I just heard (on the news) that last year Medicare lost 48 BILLION dollars thru fraud & mismanagement. That's 48 BILLION dollars, which is close to 10% of the whole total expenditure of the program.
Again I'll say....The U.S. Government can't do it's job of governing, much less run or oversee programs. We need to get them out of business.
