3.5 trillion is a number that no one can really comprehend.

The dopes who answer that they favor it cannot name 5 things in the bill.

It doesn’t matter what they answer. This poll is an attempt to put pressure on the snake Manchin to up his $1.5 trillion limit, another number no human can comprehend.

“3.5 trillion is a number that no one can really comprehend.”

BINGO!!!

If you told the average voter...
The US govt takes in $3.5 trillion dollars in taxes/fees
The gov’t must pay $1 trillion dollars/year interest on borrowed money
Another $1.5 trillion on mandatory spending, SS, Medicare/caid, etc
Another $1.7 trillion on FedGov
That leaves us a deficit of $0.2 trillion
Can we afford to borrow another $3.5 trillion?
The number of people saying yes would drop through the floor.

It would be better yet if someone broke those figures down into something even the low info voter could comprehend, a classic family budget. Disseminate widely and watch heads explode.
