Senator: No Debt Ceiling Hike Without A Balanced Budget

Comments

Hey, I got a good idea........how about the rich Co. just pay all the tax's they owe.....? Then a 10% tax on everyone would finish the rest of the shortage, but then the Dem. only know how to spend. Untill the Dem. run out of other peoples money, nothing is gona change......

[Allen Hill]

How about NOT raising the debt ceiling at all and actually cut spending... that's how we as individuals responsibly pay down our debts - the govt should do no less!

Some perspective on fourteen trillion dollars....

1 thousand = 3 zero's - 1,000
1 million = 6 zero's - 1,000,000
1 billion = 9 zero's - 1,000,000,000
1 trillion = 12 zero's - 1,000,000,000,000

consider 1 trillion divided by 2011 (years) = 497,265,042 (four hundred & ninety seven million, two hundred and sixty five thousand forty two dollars and some change - per year since our saviour died for our sins or divide by 365 (days in a year) = one million three hundred & sixty two thousand, three hundred and sixty nine dollars per day since Christ has risen, but hold on that on 1 trillion dollars the U.S. is down to the tune of 14 nearly 15 trillion ... sigh

its ridiculous to say the least especially if you run the calculations from the last time the US was not in debt which I think was about 186 years ago, how much longer before the sheeple awaken and nip this sh*t in the bud...
