Trillions Of Troubles Ahead

Forbes ^

[Circle_Hook]

Not too long ago, a billion dollars in a governmental budget was a lot of money. Then we got into hundreds of billions. People understood that this was a lot, just because of all the zeros. Now, unfortunately, the number has become small: the world "trillion," as in $1.2 trillion for health care reform, seems so tiny. But it has 12 zeroes behind it, which is so easy to forget.

If the government stays on the course it's been on for the past forty years without a radical change, the federal government will soon have a $10 trillion budget.

"There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved."

Will it help? Maybe not. But doing nothing will definitely not help. And hopefully they will have nightmares for prostituting themselves to Harry Reid. And will live in fear and dread, knowing that they will be booted from office at the next election.

And be in D.C. on the day of the State of the Union Address for a massive protest. http://pushbackuntil.com!

Let’s call a trillion a million million.

So Obamacare will cost 1.2 million million dollars.
