We might want to reflect on the implications of a number.
$13,262,365,556,893.52
Your individual share of this is: $42,944.57
That's the current federal debt. It increases by $4,120,000,000 every day.
Can we afford to stay the course? I wonder.

For some odd reason, given the current "government" I feel this number would be damn near close to what is quoted above even if Afghanistan had never happened.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
