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.

    Still not an answer to the question.

    Do you have an IRA or other retirement account?

    The two possible answers are: Yes No

            Now, were the answer to be "no" you would have likely offered up the "no" without all the hassle, because that is an easy one to offer up, and it remains consistent with your posted world view.

            So we have to assume then that the answer is "yes" and you are being obtuse because you don't want to admit you have an IRA or other retirement account.

            And because you have one, you are also directly benefiting from all that "money" you claim is being funneled to wall-street and that you post against all the time.

            So typical of a hypocrite, complain about something while also, behind the curtain, also benefiting from that same something you complain about. Retirement for me, but not for thee.
