A Big Day!

Well, no comments yesterday so check this out,

27 Things That Every American Should Know About The National Debt: The U.S. government has stolen $15,876,457,645,132.66 from future generations of Americans, and we continue to add well over a hundred million dollars to that total every single day day. The 15 trillion dollar binge that we have been on over the past 30 years has fueled the greatest standard of living the world has ever seen, but this wonderful prosperity that we have been enjoying has been a lie. It isn’t real. We have been living way above our means for so long that we do not have any idea of what “normal” actually is anymore. But every debt addict hits “the wall” eventually, and the same thing is going to happen to us as a nation. At some point the weight of our national debt is going to cause our financial system to implode, and every American will feel the pain of that collapse. Under our current system, there is no mathematical way that this debt can ever be paid back. The road that we are on will either lead to default or to hyperinflation. We have piled up the biggest debt in the history of the world, and if there are future generations of Americans they will look back and curse us for what we did to them…

Say what you will about the times we live in. Any way you slice it, that’s a big number to ignore. Chew on that for the day unless you’d rather ignore it, as do most people, and think it won’t impact you. Sooner or later someone if going to have to pay the bill. The number is so freakin big that we can’t even comprehend it so we ignore it, 15 trillion dollars, try to figure out how much that is, if you do then you’ll understand. Look at this, this is $100 bills stacked up.

– The US Government spends 318,166,660,000 (~$318 billion, 166 million) per month (both portions)
– Of the total money shown above, the US Government borrows $137,083,333,333 (137 billion, 83 million) each month– shown on the right portion.

Remember that the little “square” in front of the man is $1 million dollars. .

Now if you don’t like hearing this, post some comments!

Today the misses goes in for surgery. I’ll pick her up around 5pm and hopefully have her home by 6. The youngest is going to a friends for the whole day and the oldest will be at his friends from 11 until I pick him up. Aunt B will be helping out with him when I’m gone and he’s not at his friends.

Yesterday Jennifer was over from about 10am until 7pm. Mom took all three kids to see the new Ice Age movie while I went to Vail and worked around here. It was hot again but we did get a little rain. Apparently the heat is back with temps in the high 90’s for the next 5 days or so with no rain in sight.

The youngest also had piano last night and the teacher raves about his natural ability. He does need to practice though so we need to see if Grandma will let him come up and play her piano. I was oblivious to him even starting piano but playing any instrument can only be good.

Time to run as I have lots to do this morning. Oh yea, I almost forgot, the swim team coach emailed yesterday and the oldest had the 3rd fastest freestyle time and has made the league relay team for the state championships! He was thrilled and is all pumped to get back to swim practice starting at 6:30 sharp this morning. We’re thrilled and proud of him. Not so much proud for making the team but for how he handled the disappointment of not making it a few days ago!

Take care and say a prayer for the misses around 11:30 Pacific Time. She should be out by 2pm PST or 3 our time.

God Bless,
