Nine Trillion

How much is $9,000,000,000,000? If you had a stack of $1000 (one thousand) dollar bills it would be nearly 700 miles high.

Nine trillion seconds is going on 300,000 years.

This guy has been the President for just over 7 months. I am literally shaking my head in disbelief at him. He finally admits his brief Presidency will result in a staggering debt of a "little" over nine trillion dollars. I remember reading a quote perhaps falsely attributed to Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois, "A billion here, a billion there... pretty soon it adds up to some serious money."


BO promised no earmarks -- and his first 'stimulus' bill contained EIGHT THOUSAND pork barrel projects the Democrats had been saving up while the Republican majority fucked us.

The Republicans had control of the House, the Senate, the Executive branch, and the Supremes. I guess abandoning every principle in the platform was supposed to help America. Actually, they abandoned every principle and every living breathing United States citizen in a stupid, foolhardy, rancid, idiotic, shallow, and I-don't-know-what-else attempt to "keep" control. Congress currently has a 62% DISAPPROVAL rating, which is down from 82% a year ago. Yet we re-elected 98% of them in the last election. Why? BECAUSE IT'S NOT "MY GUY" IT'S "YOUR GUY" that's the problem! Here's a newsflash, folks - IT'S ALL OF THEM! GET THEM THE FUCK OUT OF THERE! PUT REAL, TRUE, HONEST STATESMEN IN THERE.

Fucking Robert "Shakey" Byrd has spent more of my money than Boxer and Feinstein combined yet I don't get a chance to send that piece of shit back to West Virginia. The Bureau of Public Debt is in Parkersburg, WV. They handle all the savings bonds and keep track of how much the government owes. They do this in West Virginia -- the 49th Ranked Educational state -- above only Nevada (and Washington, DC.) To their credit 50% of the students qualify for reduced-price lunches ... so they've got THAT going for them... which is nice.


I want something. I want a say in how my money gets allocated and spent by someone other than MY representative. I want a vote in my state, but I also want a vote in another state of my choosing. I would look at Senafuckintor Byrd and say what they say when you leave Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles.


Sayonara, muchacho.
