• How Big is $700 Billion Really?

  —Ponderstorm

  Think about this with me for a minute if you would. The government is asking us taxpayers to hand over $700 billion more dollars on top of the $2+ trillion we already give them (or they obligate us with in the form of debt). That’s an enormous amount of money. Today [...]
