    Re: Obama's Spending

    When our 'rulers' in Washington start talking about spending large sums of money...I have to remind my self of this......

    If you spent a dollar every second....
    In order to spend a 'million dollars', it would take 31 years.
    In order to spend a 'trillion dollars', it would take 31,688 years.

    How much has our national debt gone up in just 2 years ?

    you folks just don't understand the new math. 1+1 equals whatever you want it to represent, you are no longer limited to the total of 2, you have been liberated from the constraints of reality. washington will sprinkle a little magic dust (also known as BS) on the national debt and it will disappear.

    11.5 days to spend a milion if you are spending it every second
    31.7 years to spend a trillion.

    Re: Obama's Spending

    Good catch phivtoosyx. I meant to write a billion, not a million. The guys and gals in Washington 'never' use such small numbers as a million....

    A billion, would take just over 31 years.

    A trilliion would take 31,546 years

    Re: Obama's Spending

    If you spend $100,000 a year, it takes 10,000 years to spend a billion and 10 million years to spend a trillion.
    We are spending about 4 trillion a year more than we take in and owe nearly 14 trillion. This is nuts.
