Hey, Look, the National Debt Is Now Over $14 Trillion!

Jan 3, 2011 – 8:09 PM Up, up and away? While debate rages over what killed approximately 4,000 birds above Beebe, Ark., on New Year's Eve, one possible explanation could be that the red-winged

blackbirds caught wind of a little reported heart-stopping piece of news from that same day: The nation's national debt officially topped $14 trillion on the last day of 2010. In fact, according to

the U.S. Treasury, the debt on Dec. 31 stood at $14,025,215,218,708.52. As Surge Desk is crazy for facts and figures, we thought we'd share some of the startling details about the steep rise of the

nation's red ink.

• The national debt has risen by $1 trillion since June.
• Since Barack Obama became president, the national debt has gone up by $3,398,338,169,794.44.
• The Treasury estimates that the national debt will rise to $19.6 trillion by 2015.
• The recent tax cut deal between Obama and congressional Republicans will add an estimated $1.24 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years.

A trillion seconds pass in 31,688 years!

[SuperDuper! 230]

A trillion here, and a trillion there. Pretty soon, you are talking about a lot of money!

A trillion seconds pass in 31,688 years!

186,000 miles pass in 1 second traveling at the speed of light

Maintain that speed for 1 trillion seconds (31,688 years) and you haven't even traveled 1/3rd of the distance of our galaxy, the Milky Way (buckle your safety belt and hold on for another 68,312 years)....Hooray, you just got out of our 1 galaxy, there are 100s of billions of them out there...and only 3 trillion seconds have past...

The funniest part about it, is the CBO has basically come out and said that they don't even know anymore and have not a damn clue how item A or item Z will help/hurt things at this point... It's THAT out of control.... everything is a game of roulette for them now!

We're fuсked. The Republican-Democrat regimers will never cut anything from

the budget for fear of pissing off their constituents and not getting re-elected.

You can count on politicians to keep kicking the can down the road, from one

election to another, from one generation to another... until it explodes in

our faces.

“Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either [aristocracy or monarchy]. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”

John Adams quotes

Not sure about the blood, but it looks like suicide to me. It's the ultimate in wealth re distribution, taking the food out of the mouths of our children before they are even born.

Looking on the bright side if we get in a war with China, we get to stiff them on trillions of dollars in loans.

Send money Gary. You can pay off your taxpayer's share with the change in your pocket!
