In case you were wondering if your great-great-grandchildren's great-great-grandchildren were going to be able to enjoy life in America without national debt, read these figures.

The debt was roughly $5.7T (TRILLION) in 2000 when Dubya took office. In 2009, when numnutz took an oath he has pretty much ignored, the debt was at $10.6T (TRILLION).

Last month, it reached $19 TRILLION.

America is not at war. The M.I.C. is at war. The DoD budget is $587B, and that is down from $628B not so long ago.

We continue to elect and re-elect, people who haven't got the faintest clue about what this all means, nor how to pay it down.

Our infrastructure is crumbling pretty much to the point where it all will crumble very soon: 60-80 year old train and car bridges, roads, electrical grid, etc. We ignore our veterans and elderly and homeless and make them assume the budget cut burden, but have no problem handing out welfare to the work-capable, foreign aid to our enemies (our satellites make it into space these days on Russian-provided rocket engines we bought from them), and foreign trade is so imbalanced it isn't funny. Ford and Carrier just announced new Mexico manufacturing plants, and GM builds cheaper in China and ships back here, than they can by making cars here.

We still subsidize Big Oil 103 years after its industry, in its infancy, needed a boost. We still pay farmers not to grow products and their efforts are subsidized, again, by all of us. Social Security is unsustainable, and our Tax Laws are benefitting those with the most.

Whomever lands in the WH better know how, and have a plan, to fix our economic mess, or we can just turn off the lights.

Bet less than 50% of eligible voters will vote come Nov. The divisiveness must end. Politcal campaign attacks must end. Congress doing nothing, must end. What we need to do, we know about. What, are we waiting for? And please, don't tell me Bernie and Slithery and the Doc and the Mouth are the solution, either.
