We can easily have a 3.5 Trillion Dollar Budget

Journal by fustakrakich

It only takes 29 monthly installments of just 120 billion dollars to pay it off.

Stocks have set record after record this year thanks in large part to the Federal Reserve’s massive efforts to prop up the economy and financial markets.... the economy has met one big milestone the central bank had set to slow the $120 billion in bond purchases it's making each month.

See? All paid before it's even spent.

    Let's think on this deep question:

    If a button is being pressed, clearly marked FUCK THE NATION HARD, on what level does it matter whose finger does the pressing? Whoever it is, is clearly not promoting a healthy nation.

    You would have us believe that there's a sinister uniparty full of unspeakably cunning and diabolically coordinated operatives who carefully coordinate a dance of malevolence, whereas in reality the whole upper echelon looks like a rolling fight in a burlap sack full of rats. The actual course of events is perfectly adequately explained as an emergent manifestation of uncoordinated cross purposes, but you seem to see a sinister power behind it all.

    Are the Raelians also behind it all, in your view?

    The "Nation".. please! Your little drama does not impress anybody but the moderators

    you seem to see a sinister power behind it all.

    :-) Yes, very funny. You see "sinister" ( and get all verklempt with anybody who doesn't play along, which is amusing, please continue), I see simple mutual interests going back to the beginning of the universe.

      Obviously sinister, after all, anyone who doesn't agree is a scary terrorist.
