Over two years ago, the very first video I ever posted to YouTube was about the exploding national debt under George Bush and how it was quickly approaching the $10 Trillion mark, where as six years earlier, the clock was running backwards under Clinton and eventually SHUT OFF.


Flash forward to 2008.

3. FunFact: One Trillion = One Million Million dollars
I can't remember the source of this idea, but I heard somebody make a really excellent point on the radio. She said that we should refer to a Trillion as One Million Million dollars so that people would realize just how enormous of a number this really is. Unfortunately, we have run up so many debts under this administration that the term Trillion has become way to mainstream and people do not realize just how much it really represents. A Trillion here.... A Trillion there..... as if it monopoly money. One Million Million means the same, but gives a much different visual.

5. THANKS A LOT ASSHOLE!!!
For those two wars you started, which killed and wounded some people from my unit and several other for my hometown. I'm sure the rewards will be reaped from those endeavors. The great way of freeing up the market, guess those CEO didn't know how to handle their new found fame, but I guess you think their good people. And how about that unemployment rate, those folks are gonna find jobs soon enough because the fundamentals are strong. :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

In all seriousness, please kill yourself when you head back to the ranch! Snort an 8-ball, eat a pretzel and drink beer while Jeff Gannon gets on top (you're not gay, so it should be ok with jaysus). Then top it off with a gun to your fuckin head you ASSHOLE!!!


P.S. Sorry, I had to vent. But I seemed to have channeled the spirit of Bill Hicks in the process.
