A BILLION HERE, A BILLION THERE

Hi all,
I'm sitting here watching CNBC, perhaps you all saw what I am going to talk about.

Today "we" as a nation are engaged in national discussion as our
legislators debate an additional "bailout" package approaching One Trillion dollars; additional, that is, to the 350 billion we have already spent, with negligible effect!

How much is one trillion dollars?

the example given on CNBC went like this; if you spent One million dollars per day, since the Birth of Christ, you still would not reach one trillion dollars:
Here is the computation:

((2008 * 365) + 43) * 1 000 000 = 732 963 000 000!

That is Seven hundred thirty two billion, nine hundred sixty three million dollars; well short of the one trillion dollar mark.

It's all going onto the Federal Balance sheet; IMHO this entire process is fundamentally Un-American! The Government is in effect nationalising the core financial sub-structure of the United States.

This is not the function of Government in America!

This is a very dangerous game!

No doubt there will be countervailing opinion!
