“White House Predicts Record $1.47 Trillion Deficit”
Friday, July 23, 2010
By Andrew Taylor, Associated Press
SNIPPET: “Washington (AP) - New estimates from the White House on Friday predict the budget deficit will reach a record $1.47 trillion this year. The government is borrowing 41 cents of every dollar it spends.”
They have saved the nation from the “evil white Christian imperialists”.
AVERAGE.
The average American is about 36 years old.
He or she will live to around 78, and retire at around age 70.
So he or she has, on average, around 34 years to pay.
That would be around $2,000 per year extra in order to pay off the debt over 34 years - with ZERO interest.
In reality, with even modest interest, it's more like $5,000 per year.
So let's just assume $5,000 per year for the rest of our working lives, for everyone, to pay off the existing debt.
This is above and beyond existing taxes.
So if you have a two-year-old child or grandchild, he or she is effectively already $340,000 in debt, courtesy of the clowns in Washington.
Where am I wrong in my analysis?
They make it sound like this is a surplus, not a deficit.
It’s truly mibdboggely what is going on.
Only 41-cents of each dollar? Pikers.
(Man, I despise what our Government has become! Grrrr!)
...and these bozos think they need to keep the financial community honest??!!??
And it’s all the fault of George Bush and you greedy taxpayers!
you are right, the only factor in play would be those who will never be.
