Who Cares About The National Debt

Quick now, what was the national debt when Mr. Obama took office? He did promise he was going to bring it down.

But nobody seems to care if it's $5 or $5 trillion dollars or $500 trillion dollars.

Factually, in January 2009 you and I owed the government $10.626 trillion in cash. As of today the count has risen to $17 trillion 800 billion and change. It's about to kick over to the magic number of $18 trillion.

Somebody, someday,  has to pay. You've heard the old phrase about death and taxes. Well not me. I'll be dead but it'll be my children and grandchildren who will pay the piper.
