Are you worried? Did I just hear you say, “Worry about what?”
Pardon me. I thought it was obvious. I’m, of course, talking, about the United States National Debt.
Are you wondering what started me pecking out this confusion? It was because I was just sitting here reading the November 15, 2004 issue of Business Week. I know you are familiar with that issue…Or are you?
Here’s what caught my eye…
“With a $7.7 Trillion Budget Deficit, It’s Time to Cut Spending!”
As I usually do, I will now remind you about just how much money we are talking about…
A Trillion is a Thousand Billion and a Billion is a Thousand Million and a Million is a Thousand Thousand and, being as Smart As I Know You Are, You Immediately Grasped That $7.7 Trillion Is 7 Thousand 700 Billion Dollars.
But we have nothing to worry about because Business Week caught our Congress’ Attention back in November 2004 and Congress Cut Spending … Or did it?
The Current U.S. National Debt is More Than $24 Trillion and Growing Bigger Each Second That Passes!
Since I already showed you how much money we are talking about I won’t do it again but maybe you ought to start worrying. On the other hand, why should you be the only one?
Would I kid u?
