To get an idea what your household pays for security against foreign threats, install a parking meter in your living room, and insert a quarter every twenty minutes, 24/7. This amount – about $500/month – is what the government spends, per household, on military-related budgets including veterans’ benefits and homeland security expenses. It will not bankrupt us, but it is a substantial cost.
If you wanted to pay it off, dividing it equally among the U.S. population (estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau to be 302,103,675), it would come to $29,245.82 for every man, woman and child.
It took the Federal Government 225 years to accrue $5.5 trillion in debt under 42 U.S. presidents. But under President Bush alone, it has soared another 35.2%.
This year alone, it costs taxpayers $247.3 billion in interest payments.
It should be noted that as a percentage of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product, the National Debt is 67.9%. That’s up from 57.4% the year Pres. Bush took office. It
was in the 67% range some of Bill Clinton’s presidency as well – and he actually produced a federal budget surplus in each of the last three years of his term in office.

I hope you recover so you can pay your DEBT to the world for your war on terror
