GOVERNMENT SPENDING SPREE

The Federal Government is spending about $11 billion per day.  That’s over $4 trillion per year.  Or, in smaller terms, that $7.64 million dollars per minute.  Of the $11 billion, the major expenditures are as follows: The Department of Health and Human Services, $3 billion a day; Social Security, $2.5 billion a day; the Department of Defense, $1.8 billion a day ; and interest on the debt at $854 million every day.  Yes, that’s a paltry $593,000 per minute in interest. 

COMMENTS: 

Just wait until we add the ObamaCare figures.  Obama wants to add another $1.6 trillion in spending on top of that.  Do any of these figures boggle your mind?  Me neither, but I’ll bet you they will boggle our grandkids’ wallets!  The question is… Can we Americans stop this?
