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 ?
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." - President Ronald Reagan
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.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.-- Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

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

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.
It's OK....We have all we need.....the Fed's keep printing more money ....
