Title: National debt grows $1 million a minute Post by: CheezeFlixz on December 03, 2007, 10:20:14 AM Like a ticking time bomb, the national debt is an explosion waiting to happen. It's expanding by about $1.4 billion a day — or nearly $1 million a minute.
What's that mean to you? It means almost $30,000 in debt for each man, woman, child and infant in the United States. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071203/ap_on_go_ot/nation_in_debt_4 (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071203/ap_on_go_ot/nation_in_debt_4) We need to tell these drunken spenders to get it under control, or find new people to go the Washington.

No politician is ever going to quit spending like there's no tomorrow, and most people won't vote for a politician who isn't promising them goodies. Personally I look forward to the day when they default on the debt payments. It will signify the beginning of a quantum shift in American politics, much like Russia is going through now, except that America will hopefully still have enough of its capitalist structure in place to make a swift recovery. But after that, all those government programs will be gone, and probably for a good long time.
