OT--So many great headlines I can't decide which one to post
Not exactly a headline:
10/08/2003 $6,815,762,633,308.91 Current Month 10/07/2003 $6,817,256,800,753.20 10/06/2003 $6,814,440,215,107.91 10/03/2003 $6,812,573,929,325.08 10/02/2003 $6,805,599,570,918.78 10/01/2003 $6,804,504,127,055.70 That's the national debt. Going up a helluva lot faster than the stock market or WalMart earnings. In fact, it's up 11 billion dollars in the last week. Bush wants 87 billion to play "army" in Iraq. Congress is appalled. But at this rate, if they debate the issue for a couple of months we will have pee'd away another 87 billion in just general horsehockey. Iraq or no. We're going deeper into debt by the proposed cost of (continuing) the war in Iraq every two months. Anybody care? NOYB's headlines remind me of the guy who borrowed 110% of his home equity and went on a consumer spending spree. Cars, trips, clothes, toys, and other total wastes. All the while he was acting like he had a bottomless checkbook, he felt "rich". Remember how the Soviet Union fell? We forced the Soviets to spend so much money for defense their economy could no longer support the cost of government. "Couldn't happen here! We're a democratic republic! Those Soviets were godless socialists!" All I can say is that we are certainly lucky the "conservatives" are in the White House and have the Congressional majority. Just think of the fix we'd be in if the moderates or liberals were holding the reins! Last time that happened, we were paying down this debt by running a surplus! What could those commie pinko leftist *******s have been thinking? The right don't like big gummit? It ain't never, ever, been anywhere nearly so big as it is now. The cost of gummit grew 11 billion dollars in the last week. For a family of five, the combined per capita increase was close to $200. (*not* the toal cost of federal government, just this week's increase!) Did your family make $200 more this week than it did last? If not, you're behind by the difference. If so, you can be pleased with the knowledge that your gummit spent it for you. |
