7 Trillion...Better Make That 9 TRILLION DOLLAR Deficit

With the ever growing deficit, how can American's trust our government will ever pay off all of this debt. Just today, the White House quietly released today that the Presidents predicted 7 trillion dollar deficit is now predicted to be 9 trillion dollars over the next ten years. That means over the next ten years our government will be placing 30,000 dollars worth of debt into the pockets each of the 300,000,000 citizens. That is not a total, that is on top of the thousands each American already is on the hook for. Please, lets get some fiscal sanity back into our government.

What's In A Trillion?

Does it seem like "A Trillion Dollars" is the new Billion to congress? Have you ever wondered what a Trillion dollars looks like? Well, the people over at Mint.com have created a wonderful new video showcasing what a Trillion dollars look like. Think about it, this fiscal year, our government has proposed about 4 trillion dollars in spending; the largest in our countries history by 1 trillion dollars. Our government has proposed a 1.5 trillion dollar health care plan that we all know will cost more than the government tells us. There are reports that the TARP bailout will cost around 23 Trillion dollars. What other programs will our government create that the can place another trillion dollar price tag on? Why can't the government run like every family in America has too? If we don't have the money to buy something we live without it. It's time for the government to start living by this same principle; cut program, cut wast, cut administration, pay off debts, and protect American Citizens.
