Not sure if everyone has seen this one but still funny and kinda sad in a way.

14 trillions not enough, i wonder how much itll reach untill the american people say stop? 500 trillion?

They won't say stop. Ever.

I was speaking with a co-worker yesterday who said she doesn't worry about things like that. She worries about her sister's health, packing for her upcoming cruise, and whether or not her son is drinking too much. I think she is typical of your average American. When I pointed out the recent actions of Congress (i.e. NDAA) she said she doesn't know anyone that would affect. She also pointed out that there is nothing she wants to do that she is prohibited from doing. She's free to travel, eat what she wants, say what she wants, etc. I asked her if the cost of gas, groceries, etc. bothered her and she said yes, but that's just part of life. Prices always go up. I pointed out that the government is stealing from us, and she simply said that she has enough to worry about in worrying for her own family.

After that conversation, it hit home to me how far apart I am in my thinking from many of my colleagues, and yet THEY are the majority. The good news is that both she and another co-worker who apparently voted for Obama last time, both said they would NOT vote for him again.

LOL, so true. The video is so true... I dont think the governments debt can be paid off. They keep growing and are getting less and less tax income. Bonds are a joke. If they raise interest rates the economy goes kaput. Done....
