food for thought

assuming a 10k payout average to each of the 300 million americans that is a payout of roughly 3 trillion dollars.

That sounds like a lot of money, but not really that much for our government assuming the elimination of welfare programs, all housing subsidies, etc.

3 Trillion a year our total budget not including amendments, and supplementals was 2.6 trillion dollars in total spending.....

just some numbers to confuse the issue....

Frankly I am not sure if the 2.6 trillion figure includes mandatory spending or not.

The office of Management and Budget doesn't have the best website.

It says that we have a social security deficit currently at 3.7 trillion dollars and that we have an overall deficit of 10.5 Trillion dollars.....

Heh.
