1.3 billion. Almost sounds small next to a 1.4 trillion dollar deficit.

You're right, it's less than 1/10th or 1%. But then again, our government is so good at it, they like to do it a whole lot. A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking about "real money."

You're right, it's less than 1/10th or 1%.

Fuzzy math? One thousand billions make one trillion. 1/10th does not equal 1%. Try 1/1000th or .1%.
