US spends its way to 28 Eiffel towers: made out of pure gold

[Freedom_from_Chains]

For anyone who hasn't gotten it by now that this cabal is trying to bankrupt the country so that we can digress into civil wa and they can complete their coup this article ought to do it for you.


IF YOU are worried about how much you owe on your credit cards, this might put things in perspective: America’s national debt limit was increased yesterday to $9 trillion. That’s $9,000,000,000,000 — enough to buy Buckingham Palace 9,000 times.
The increase, passed by Congress, allows the Government to borrow another $781 billion (£447 billion), increasing the national debt limit — the maximum America can borrow — from $8 trillion and $184 billion to $8 trillion and $961 billion.



If the debt ceiling, which is set by Congress, had not been raised by March 24, the Administration would not have been able to borrow more money and the US would have begun to default on its domestic and foreign obligations, an untenable consequence.

The vote to increase the debt limit, requested by the White House, is the fourth since Mr Bush took office. In 2001 the national debt was $5.7 trillion. Today it has ballooned to $8.2 trillion, figures rarely talked about in Washington.

1. What a disaster...If only there was someone the media can blame.

So far the attitude from the right is that all polititians have their hands in our pockets.
That this debt didn't come from the White House, the Senate, of the republican controled House.
The view seems to be that it just "happened" through a combination of events that were not under Buxh's control!

This is sickening...If Kerry/Edwards were in the White House right now, they'd be moving to impeach, and the media would be right there fueling it!


$9 TRILLION

Is roughly four times Britain’s GDP

Equates to $1,500 for every man, woman and child in the world

Would buy all the tea in China. In fact it would buy all the tea in the world for the next 2,000 years.

Is enough to solve the Palestinian crisis by rehousing every Israeli and Palestinian family in a £1.5m detached house in Henley-on-Thames

Would build 28 Eiffel Towers — constructed out of gold.
