Obama Administration / Interesting Facts

Are you having a little trouble figuring out just how much America's DEFICIT really is? I'm not the brightest bulb but conceptualizing billions and trillions staggers my mind. So I looked up a few facts to help me:

TIME

• (MILLION)   1,000,000 seconds is 12 days
• (BILLION)    1,000,000,000 seconds is more than 31 years.
• (TRILLION)  1,000,000,000,000 seconds is 31,688 years.

DOLLARS

• America goes more than (TRILLION) $1,000,000,000 in debt every year.
• The Federal Government's total yearly budget is (TRILLIONS) $3,700,000,000 per year.
• So, close to 1/3 of our TOTAL spending per year is borrowed.

A COUPLE OF FACTS

• If the federal government taxed every corporation in America and confiscated every single asset of the super-wealthy (Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc.) it still wouldn't even come close to balancing the budget.
• Of the more than $1,000,000,000 borrowed last year ABOUT HALF was created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve.
