U.S. $10 trillion in the red
Miami Herald
Excerpt
WASHINGTON — As the national debt heads toward the $10-trillion mark, generous Americans are sending checks to the federal government.
Donations to the Bureau of the Public Debt have topped $2.5 million so far this year. That’s the highest amount since at least 1996.
It’s not making much of a dent, though.
For the fifth time since 2001, Congress is raising the debt limit, increasing it by $850 billion to $9.815 trillion. The Senate approved the plan on a 53-42 vote Thursday. That’s $9,815,000,000,000.00.
The House of Representatives has already signed off on the plan, without a direct vote.
According to the folks who follow this stuff closely, the national debt has been rising by an average of $1.36 billion per day since September of last year.
And each citizen now has a share of nearly $30,000.

How sad some Americans are foolish enough to try to personally replenish Bush’s war debt! Other Americans are foolish enough to think we are as “free” as America professes. Have you heard about STALKING of whistleblowers and some liberals? What stalking is: groups of conservatives in their free time follow liberals and stage “mis-haps” that mimic everyday life. It’s like low-level warfare, and some targets don’t even realize all their bad luck might not be a coincidence. Private Investigator David Lawson proved this happens in his 73-page book on this titled “Terrorist (Cause) Stalking in America.” He infiltrated these groups. One other thing: these conservatives provide romantic dates for us liberals! Don’t believe it? I guarantee it’s true!
