Anything the government says will cost x amount I simply take that figure and multiply it by a minimum of three to a max of six.

Why not multiply by ten? The original Congressional estimates in 1965 for Medicare were short by at least a factor of ten. I think we'll be looking at an ultimate Medicare debt of $500 Trillion or more.

Yes, multiplying by 10 is appropriate because I have seen certain government spending numbers that much higher than original estimates. This is why I am going with one quadrillion dollars before this is all over. Think about that for a second. That’s $1x10^15!

Will we make it to that number before we crash and burn? More than likely.
