16 Tons and What Do You Get...

I owe the government $47,000.00. At least that's what I'll owe towards the national debt in 2011 according to the latest figures coming out of Washington, D.C.




You too. And, my better half and our kids and their kids and your's as well.

Haha all the way to the bank to draw on our vast holdings so we can pay off our debt.


Of course, the ammount will be higher than a mere 47K. The government always errs on the lower end when it comes to spending and debt.

Day by day and on into eternity we go, our debt ever expanding. Sisyphus pushing that boulder...

I am reminded of a song of frustration from my golden youth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joo90ZWrUkU


Good news on one front: scientists at the University of Kansas have concluded that life on earth is wiped out every 27,000,000 years, but we have another 16,000,000 years to go until the next time. Maybe we can get that debt paid off before then.
