Your Government at Work

You do NOT need to look very far to find evidence of government excess:

For example:

Pages of documents submitted during the past several months by Goldman Sachs to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission: 2.5 billion.

Number of days federal investigators have been given to review all the documents before issuing its final report: 209. (Source: Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.)

Number of prison inmates who received tax credits under the first-time homebuyer program: 1,295.

Number of these prison inmates serving life sentences: 241. (Source: Department of the Treasury.)

That is all.

Pretty Soon We're Talkin' "Real" Money............

The USA NAtional Debt continues to grow, exponentially. We hear (almost daily) about government expenditures of a trillion dollars and more. Millions and billons are for rookies. Did you even know what comes after trillion?

It’s “quadrillion.”
