Ok, so Obama's budget will probably pass. I am going to guess around 3.5 trillion.

 

That's 1.75 trillion more then the government will bring it. Or, $5,800 per american citizen.

Where do you think this money will come from, and how do you think we can pay for these kinds of services in the long run?

 

 I feel those numbers are misleading. It cant be that the budget spending is twice the amount that comes in. Usually a budget deficit is only 3-4% for a Western governent, perhaps 5-10% in a Crysis.

Can someone xplain the budget numbers?

 

Like I said, fiction writers couldn't make this up, because if they did, no one would believe it. Yet these numbers are very real. Why isn't everyone screaming about this all over the media? It's utterly crazy.

Worst off, it fucks the young more then the old, and this sight is mostly young. Why are they not up in arms. I don't get it.

 

 I'm shocked. Watching the news over here in Sweden I've understood the budget is something special, but I couldnt imagine it being anywhere near that crazy. Bush was already a big spender (with record deficits due to the war right), I thought Obama would be more careful.
