The US Government borrows

This was included in an email forwarded to me:

The US government now borrows approximately $5 billion every business day.

The U.S. government has to borrow 43 cents of every dollar that it currently spends, four times the rate in 1980.

What's ironic is that the original poster is from a company that relies heavily on government "handouts" to their customers. They are very much part of the problem, but will never acknowledge that - can we say hypocritical bastards.
