After all, how much is a trillion? It's the number one followed by 12 zeros. But that doesn't shed much light on just how deeply in debt the federal government is that it must pass a law enabling it to borrow up to $8.965 trillion. "It's hard to understand what a trillion is. I don't know what it is," confessed Senate Budget Committee Chairman Judd Gregg, a New Hampshire Republican, this week when debating the government's staggering fiscal obligations. Reuters  That's staggering to me. That's the damned Budget Committee Chairman speaking! He doesn't "know" what a trillion is. Well, that certainly goes without speaking although it's nice that he confirmed it. Still, he and the other "conservatives" just increased the federal debt ceiling to $9 TRILLION and at this moment are about to railroad through a proposed FY2007 budget of $2.7 TRILLION. These people don't represent us. They're an embarrassment. Flush that damned thing. It's starting to draw flies. |
