[QUOTE="St_Worm2, post: 74733742, member: 511"] Hello [USER=342410]@zippy2006[/USER], we took in nearly 4 Trillion in Federal taxes last year, while the National Debt increased to nearly 23.3 Trillion (as of today). Why do you think Bernie's plan (which would add an additional 9.7 Trillion per year in spending) would be a problem for us :scratch: As Bernie said the other night, "[I]I don't know what it will cost, nobody does. And who cares[/I]" (I suppose implying that what he wants to do is necessary, so the cost of it really doesn't matter). --David p.s. - for a little perspective, I remember listening to a financial counselor on the radio, Larry Burkett, back in the 90's, who gave some interesting examples of what a ~trillion~ dollars amounts to. They were all pretty outrageous, but my favorite one was this, "[I]if you started a business the year that Jesus was born, and your business ended up losing 1 million dollars per day, 365 days per year, you would still have 700 years to go [/I][FONT=Georgia](beyond the 1990's)[/FONT][I] before your business would lose its first trillion dollars[/I]" :eek: [/QUOTE]
