Title: The National Debt
Post by: rpm on March 23, 2004, 08:30:24 AM

Got this in an e-mail from my Congressman, Charles Stenholm (http://www.house.gov/stenholm/issues/issue_debt.shtml)  :
The national debt on March 22:     $7,124,102,586,277.84
Your share of the national debt:     $24,326.48


The national debt on March 23:     $7,124,552,855,155.71
Your share of the national debt:     $24,327.60

The US national debt is over 7 TRILLION dollars and rising over $450,000,000.00 a day!

Were you against the tax cuts?
If so, did you send your refund back to the Gov't in protest?

If not, sit down, shut up. :)

I would say that a smart person would quit spending.

That's not your family's share, that is your share.  Multiply that by the number of members in your family.

Admittingly, there are two things that piss me off about Bush, the budget spending, and how we've been handling post-war Iraq.

Hey RPM.  Have you ever taken economics?



Because I am right now.  And what Bush is doing is coming right out of the book.  Almost word for word.



In a recession, the government spends money to raise the GDP.  He spends now so later you will have more money coming in to save.





Isn't it funny how the Liberals judge Bush upon the economy, but don't have any freaking idea about what to do.


BTW, just for future Reference, what Kerry said he's planning on doing is coming right out of the Economics book about what ***NOT TO DO IN A RECESSION!***

Laser, I did'nt accuse Bush or anyone of anything. You connected those dots on your own, altho it was a pretty obvious path. Spending does stimulate the economy, but what you spend it on makes the difference. I just thought that was an alarmingly fast rate of increase.
