Did anyone stop to do the math on this lunatic statement by Paul? That would be a Federal Deficit of $1,095,000,000,000,000 borrowed JUST from Foreigners EVERY year. Our entire Federal budget for this year is just under $3,000,000,000,000
3 billion =
3,000,000,000
3 billion * 365 = 1,095,000,000,000.
Ron Paul is not my favorite candidate, but you should check your math:
This is less than your budget figures of 3,000,000,000,000.
The actual budget figures from http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy08/pdf/budget/tables.pdf
show a deficit of 240 billion, which is about a quarter of 1 trillion, Paul’s number.

says 1.5 billion per day though, which is twice the official. I suspect budgetary hanky-panky somewhere. Maybe not counting social security correctly.
