Total federal tax collected in 2008 about 2.5 trillion dollars. 2009 tax collections will be lower.

2009-2010 budget 3.6 trillion dollars.

I'm not sure how much of the stimulus/tarp shush fund is part of the budget.

New Obamacare plan costs? Wildly low (lying) estimate of 1 trillion dollars over ten years with 587 billion dollars in savings because government is running it. (How can these fark heads lie so boldly?)

Last year we paid about 451 billion dollars in interest on our national debt. With the additional trillion dollar stimulus, trillion dollar deficit in this years budget, we could see interest payments on the debt top 1 trillion dollars per year by the end of Obama's ruination of our countries economy. Especially if interest rates start going nuts and we have to funnel money through Goldman Sachs or the Fed to other countries to make it look like they are still buying up our debt. Remember our tax collections in 2008 were only 2.5 trillion dollars.

57 trillion dollars in UNFUNDED liabilities that our government has promised it's citizens. Not counting city and state pensions that are under funded. The cities and states are depending on taxes to increase each year to fund their pensions.

Remember our tax collections in 2008 were 2.5 trillion dollars.

Is that some scary math or what?

And they say the Obama care is going to cost 100 billion dollars per year? They are f'n lying!!! If we have 50 million uninsured and spending 100 billion to Obamacare them, they are talking about providing medical care for 50 million people at $2,000 per year! I've been trying to track down how many people are getting Medicare and Medicaid to determine how far 682 billion dollars a year goes? Does anyone know?

CONGRESS writes the budget. CONGRESS passes the budget. The president does NOT have a line item veto. He either passes it or vetoes it. If he vetoes it, CONGRESS stops paying the bills for everything. It just doesn’t work!

There needs to be a constitutional amendment to permit the line item veto.
