1 Trillion Dollars!

That's how much the deficit is now! The average person cannot comprehend how much money that is. What you can do or not do with that kind of money. The sad thing is that our country just 8 years ago had a surplus! When Bill Clinton left office we officially had a surplus and now we have went into the hole. Has a lot happened since then, of course, but has a lot of greed, mis management of the tax payers money happened, absolutely! Government requires states to balance their budgets, you and I cannot go without paying our bills, they will shut the lights out and throw you out on the street. But lawmakers in Washington have a blank check and its you and I who are having to pay their IOU's. I don't know about you........but I think its time government started taking their own medicine............
