Default US Budget Deficit Reaches $1 trillion

USA! USA! USA! And that's only through June.

"A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon it adds up to real money."

I love the fact the current administration seems to have the idea everything we're doing is with play money.

Yeah match that with me learning how to read and we should be fine.

Some interesting notes from the article, such as the idea of another economic stimulus package. Great idea since the first one did sooooo well.

Assuming money is spent in the right places, this deficit will promote HUGE growth, open up jobs, and advance our society. Of course, that's a big assumption- we know there are large chunks that are spent on things like gold plated toilet paper so some mayor in small-town Georgia can wipe his ass like a Pharaoh.

From what I understand we've only spent 10% of the 1st stimulus bill. It's because most of the $ is only going to go to pay the banks after all the defaulted loans.

Alternate energy, and universal health care. Those would be the biggest stimuli to the economy.
