So I want to take a minute and ask, do you know how much money that the national debt really is?? It is so mind boggling, it’s hard to wrap a thought around.
Currently it would cost each household in the United States 33 thousand dollars just to pay off the debt that we are in…
There was this web page that I stumbled upon showing just how much money it really is… So brace your self, here it is…
All this talk about "stimulus packages" and "bailouts"...
A billion dollars...
A hundred billion dollars...
Eight hundred billion dollars...
One TRILLION dollars...
Lets start with a 100 dollar bill, we all have seen them and most of us have ad them. A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Believe it or not, $1 million dollars is 100 little packets of the 100-dollar bills containing $10,000 $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet... And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere... $1 billion dollars is 5x5 pallets with 100 million dollars on each. Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing so much about. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.Another way to look at this a little less visual would be: One trillion can pay for the military for every Nato country combined. One trillion dollars can pay for all the goods and services produced in Australia for one year. It can pay for every military intervention and war since 9/11, it is the marked value of the Toronto stock exchange. One trillion dollars can pay for the rent for every renter for three years, or the mortgages for every homeowner for 14 months. One trillion can purchase all the homes that foreclosed in 2007-2008. One trillion dollars can pay for an additional 11 weeks vacation for every American worker. One trillion dollars could pay 1/10 of the spending for current bailout.

I think that the government is waisting a lot of money on these stimulous packages and bailouts... if the people are unable to pay for a house and know it, then they should not have gotten it in the first place, there is no reason that the government should have to help them for the mess that they got their selves into. they did nothing for the government and the government is not there to relay on, they are there to protect us, not from our own stupid decisions.
