Print this out and pass it around. It's "what the Government plans to do" statement is now a little outdated, but it is still a useful graphic.

Federal government spends a dollar in less time than it takes light to travel 2 miles

Astonishing.

I think that in their evil little hearts, liberals truly believe that the federal money supply is unlimited.

After all, they've overspent by trillions....yet, the sun still comes up every day, the union workers still have their jobs, and still vote for democRats, etc.

They see no real consequences.

That explains some of them; others worship at the feet of Comrade Cloward and Comrade Piven, doing their very best to spend us into oblivion.

Best way to understand a trillion is to give an example that relates to modern day things.

If you were in a spaceship traveling at the rate of 1 trillion cubits per fortnight, you could arrive at mars in about 4 days.
