Obama Regime Has U.S. Borrowing $54,084 Every Second…
And what do we have to show for it? Nothing except a $14 trillion national debt and a trashed economy.
(LA Times)- If you’re like most people not involved with drug trafficking, you don’t often actually see U.S. money with more than one or two zeroes on it, as in $50 or $100.
Thus, Monday’s news that the national debt was approaching the legal limit of $14.294 trillion creates a Clint Eastwood-style political showdown in the soggy streets of Washington.
On one side is Obama and his Democratic gang, who’d like the limit raised so their government can keep operating. On the other end of Main Street is the newly enlarged posse of Republicans, who are feeling their enhanced leverage and want spending-cut commitments before going along with the usually pro forma limit-raising.
…Here’s why we mention June 1. On that day the national debt was “only” $13 trillion. It’s 214 days from June 1 through last Friday, Dec. 31. That’s 5,136 hours or 308,160 minutes or 18,489,600 seconds.
In those seven short months the national debt increased by $1,000,000,000,000.
That works out to be a growth in national debt of $54,084 borrowed during every single one of those 18,489,600 seconds.

Compare that to how many people make that much in a year.
But hey it’s only money.
Budgets in Government go one way… UP. This is a catastrophe.
That’s incredible. Speechless.
I feel the need to puke!
You can be sure this won’t be mentioned in the State of the Union.
Lord help us all, especially our kids, grand-kids etc.
Congress-critters and voters have created a helluva mess~
Where is the money going thats what I want to know who is getting it all. Is it going to help other countries ? How much of it is going to pay back Soros and the Unions? All the Nanny state bull shit programs .. how much is going to Muslims and Illegals.. Issa needs to get his ass on this now.
Well, he had several lovely vacations, so has M. They have had some wonderful parties, and seen some fabulous shows. Had many “date” nights. They have spent our money on quite a lot. Some of it may be in off shore accounts for further use for all we know.
He thought he was stepping into a dictatorship because that is what Soros promised him.

why do people hate palin? We’ve got proof BO is doing bad stuff – and the spending is the cream of the crop. So what did palin do that was so bad ? Funny how people hate others based on feelings, but fall for bad sales pitches all the time.
