400 Million Years

The government is not going to shut down, at least until September. Congress has passed a $1.3 trillion budget. It’s going to be tough to operate the way they do on that little dab of money.

At this very moment this country is over $21 trillion in debt. I’m not sure, but I think that’s more money than I could ever count. If you want to break it down, it’s about $65,000 owed for every man, woman and child. Before it’s too late, remember, it’s never too early got get a kid a job.

The last time this country was debt free was in 1835 when Andrew Jackson was president. Those were the good ole days, when a dollar was worth a dollar.

Since these numbers are mind boggling, let’s put things another way. If we don’t accrue any more debt from this day forward - ha ha ha - it will take 400 million work years to pay off what we owe now.

Since only about half the country works, it may take a little longer.
