Trillion

A woman in Staten Island is suing the city of West Brighton for a whopping $900 trillion big ones

Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity was “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Are we trying to fix the U.S. economy by doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result? Stimulus after stimul

The number one trillion is hard to comprehend yet it is thrown around carelessly. Here are some ways to translate one trillion into something that is a little easier to understand.

America carries a crushing debt that is not sustainable, is potentially dangerous and may threaten all American's quality of life, if not reversed. To understand the magnitude of America's Debt, let's look at what these unimaginably large numbers mean.

Based on US spending, the National Debt is increasing faster than printing presses can print money. No other nation on earth has so much debt than the U.S. and that might bite us in the behind.

The U.S. government is on the verge to spend us all into oblivion. There is seemingly no oversight, no control on the money-flow.

Since President Obama took office 3 years ago, the statutory debt ceiling limit was raised five times and at current spending rates needs to be raised once again sometime in January of 2012.

The very simple idea of a tax amnesty for the trillion dollars that US corporations have parked overseas seems like a no-brainer in terms of stimulating the economy. Why isn't it happening?

President Obama’s American Jobs Act, failed to muster sufficient votes in the Senate last night. If enacted, the cost of the bill would have pushed the national debt beyond $15 trillion.

Since the debt ceiling debacle in July and subsequent raising of the debt ceiling, not much has changed. The Administration continues their spending habits like all is well in the U.S.A. It is not.

In the current budget and deficit debate nobody seems to want to talk about how to pay for the unfunded laibilities of these programs

The U.S. National Debt is a confusing and little-understood subject. Recently it has been at the center of a political firestorm. So what is the U.S. National Debt and how does it affect Americans?

There are no easy solutions. But they say history always repeats itself. They say America has her best and greatest behind her. They say the 21st Century is the Chinese century. You know what I say? Bring it on! The sooner the better.

Unless we cut spending, the U.S. may wind up like the Greek economy with living standards drastically curtailed.

Everyone talks Jobs, and Politicains and People have many suggestions, but we see no jobs. Most Ideas are to just spend money on something from infrastruture to schools with no way to pay for it and no savings and little return.

A high level look at the details of the Budget Control Act of 2011

We have all paid into social security (FICA on our pay stubs) but Congress is now planning to reduce our future benefits. We must not allow this to happen. Congress stole our money, and that is not right.

It is assumed that federal budget cuts will most impact federal employment levels - that may not be the case. While federal spending more than tripled the last 40 years federal payrolls shrank, yes shrank, 33% and private sector employment doubled.

In my studies of history, and in my efforts to try to understand which written historical events are true and which ones are false, I have developed useful guidelines that use both accurate and falsely written documents to understand what really happened.

Did you see that sign we passed about three years ago on the road of rampant government spending? It read, "Now Passing: Point Of No Return".

Unquiver your arrows all you GOP partisans and blind Republican loyalists! For I am here for you to take shots at. I am painting a big, red bulls-eye on myself for you to attack because I am here to tell you something you do not want to hear; the truth.

How we got to the national debt being over 14 trillion dollars

Congressman Paul Ryan, during an interview on "Fox News Sunday", gave a preview of the budget that the House Budget Committee of which he is chairman would present on Tuesday. It would cut $4 trillion from the federal budget over the next ten years.

Amateur hour at the White House continued this week. President Obama, who swears up and down, cross his heart and hope to die, that he is serious about tackling the federal budget deficit released his proposed budget for fiscal year 2012.
