U.S. owes $62 trillion in future obligations

And that comes to: "The $61.6 trillion in unfunded obligations amounts to $534,000 per household". mmmmm maybe in this tread Homeowner Foreclosures on Bank of America The home owner would have been better off letting the bank have the house he paid cash for.

I wounder what that comes to per person??
average household of 4 people that would be $133500.00 per person

Put a sales tax on escorting, and the entire debt could be retired in 8 months, maybe only 6!

I saw the same story in the D&C today. I carefully looked to see over what period of time this debt would come due. It was unclear, but the USA Today piece alluded to 20 years. Did anybody else read something different?

New York economy is the best barometer. Liberal policies have had control of everything here, that is a fact. it has produced taxes that are 75% higher than the national average.That is a fact, and yet, were still in financial collapse, thats a fact. So now, you want to say, just gives us more and more, and this time well fix it.For the most part, weve always done just that and its ben take by force and intimidation .I know they audited me last year, said there is NO way i could be living on my income. I said, Im not a LIAR, , thats why i have an accountant that costs $4000. a year, cause of the beauracracy you created, dont call me, call him.. I couldnt even tell you what I made last year. About five useless calls later , they finally stopped calling me and did figure they should just stop giving me harrasing phone calls and mybe just actually meet with my accountant to get the facts for themselves.$500. in accountant fees later, and running me around with untold wasted time, to the taxpayers ( thats how these people are paid)it was miraculously found that I was in compliance, they said, ohh sorry, everythings ok, thanks for your time..sorry for me coming off cynical, my views have been formed through real life experiances..bottom line, their coming for it and if you think they are not or immune , your nieve.yet, i still have to preached too on how were not giving enough, thats horse shit, the money they got was squandered and pillaged.
