Federal Budget- We're in BIG TROUBLE!

The white house announced the figures for the 2009 deficit. Good news, they say, it’s 250 billion lower than expected. It’s only gonna be $1.58 trillion. That $1,580,000,000,000.00. So, do the math. That means our federal government is spending $50,101.47 a second ( x 60 is more than $3 million a minute) or $5300.00 per person per year (US pop estimated at 300 million). The IRS says there are 156 million people who filed taxes in 2008. (It’s gonna be less in 2009 because of all the unemployment) So that’s $10,128 per taxpayer minimum. If they don’t raise taxes, they’re gonna have to have one hell of a fundraiser.

Now remember boys and girls this is only the deficit. That’s not counting the other $2 trillion they spent. I’ll let you do the rest of the math. (Actually they spent more than that cause they make interest on our money, although this year not much. The interest they pay on borrowed money is included in the deficit) So add $10,128.00 to what you already pay in. Also, remember that’s only Fed. The state is a whole different story, especially for us Californians.

We have to tell our legislatures this is out of hand. They still want to add the health care reform to this at another trillion. Our dollar is becoming worthless. Our government is driving us into the ground fast. I don’t care if you’re an Obama fan or not, the numbers don’t lie. And these are the numbers from his white house.

Tell them all to STOP THE SPENDING! If that means putting health care reform aside for now, so be it. Pull the troops. Stop foreign aid. Remember we only have seven years to fix social security or we’re really in trouble.



Ok, I did the math for you, total they spend $3.56 trillion for 2009. Our Fed govt spends $6.84 Million a minute.



For you non-believers who think this is only a Republican scare tactic.
