A Christmas Meditation - American Style




In 2002 the federal budget was $2.1 trillion and the federal debt had reached $6 trillion.  To help you get a handle on the meaning of this, suppose that the day Christ was born, you had $2.1 trillion to spend ... if you spent $3 million a day, each day, you would barely have completed your task by the year 2000.
