US Government is BORROWING $4.8 BILLION PER DAY!!
I wanted to do some math! It's really not that difficult and anyone can follow along. If any congressmen, senators, or ever our president haven't done these simple calculations for themselves then...well

In the first two months of fiscal year 2013 (October/November 2012) the US government BORROWED to cover expenditures above budget, $292 BILLION.

THAT'S $4.8 BILLION PER DAY in new borrowing

Now all this BS wrangling and politicizing is about tax increases that are said to raise $800 Billon over 10 years or $80 billion per year.

These tax increases will fund the governments BORROWING habits for less than 17 DAYS PER YEAR at current borrowing rates.

Let this sink in and understand that none of what is being jockeyed about in congress, the senate, and by this pitiful president, really matters.

This entire horse and pony show is a smoke screen.

Here's another bit of nonsense

"The Affordable Care Act imposed the 2.3 percent tax on medical devices with the goal of raising nearly $30 billion over the next decade."

LOL, how much revenue is that when you consider our current BORROWING rate of $4.8 BILLION per day?

30/4.8=6.25 days of Borrowing

10 Years of raising costs on EVERYONE (not just the rich)=6.25 days of Borrowing

THIS IS MADNESS!

THIS IS RETARDAAAAAAAAAA!

I really have nothing else to say on this matter.

The rich need heavier taxes, and welfare needs to stop the gravy train. Military spending needs a full reversal.

If you read the newsweek article above, they actually say that the tax increase will reduce government revenue..

Just quoting

"The math doesn't work! Raising top tax rates will produce about $800 billion of revenue over the next 10 years, compared with a $3.7 trillion revenue loss from all the Bush tax cuts."

Given that the budget is around $3 Trillion or $8.2 Billion per day, that means the machine is eating $13 BILLION per day.

Now put that in context of the proposed tax hikes.

Why in the world would you believe only $4.8B per day?
How about $25B.

Everything thats happening in D.C would indicate they are either living in a fantasy world or completely lying about everything.

For my 2 cents O is the king of deception. But he is smart enough to know any deal they make is DOA in public perception. He doesn't intend to cut a dime out of the budget.

His true constituency are the govt workers and the power they represent over us.

Apparently every month another percent is added to the debt to GDP ratio....right now the USA is over 100 percent of debt to GDP.....meaning we don't even break even anymore....Last time the USA was in this position was ww2....but at least then industries were set up to support the war effort and the rebuilding that would eventually come after the war....

Now we have entire manufacturing sectors that have been uprooted and moved to cheap labor countries.....

Our GDP will not be able to help service our debt based on our service orientated economies...that's a lot of burgers and fries to sell....

Not gonna happen

Since the big bang. If everyone paid $1 it still wouldn't be paid off.

Since biblical creation if everyone paid $1000 it still wouldn't be paid off.

I was born in the mid 70's. In those days the US Federal Deficit was around $600 Billion total.
So in other words, the US had accumulated $600 Billion in Debt in about 200 YEARS.

The US is now ACCUMULATING $600 BILLION IN NEW DEBT EVERY 6 MONTHS.


200 Years then
6 Months now
