I know this is not nearly as important to many Americans (hopefully not you) as was Adam Lambert's perverted TV bit last night ... but we're running a bit of a deficit right now. Let's call it about $1.3 trillion. Now .. how do we put that into perspective. Let's try this: On the showroom floor at Mercedes Benz of Buckhead in Atlanta there sits a nice Mercedes McClaren SLR. Here's the link in case you want to own one of these beauties. It costs about $750,000.00. Now .. let's say you like to trade in for a new car quite often. You like the new car smell. If you had $1.4 trillion dollars - the amount of our deficit for this year only - you could buy a new McClaren every hour of every day for 213 years and still have money to pay for fuel. Now bear in mind, you're not trading cars in here. At the end of this spree you'll have 1,865,000 McClarens to park somewhere.

In case you aren't planning to buy all these McClarens maybe we can just relate this massive debt we're building to your children and grandchildren. The way things are going each warm body in this country is going to carry a share of this deficit equal to about $50,000 .. .and that doesn't include the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare.

OK ... so the politicians are giving you all of these cost estimates for their newest entitlement program .. their precious health "reform" plan. The estimates range from $800 billion and change all the way to $2.4 trillion. Don't believe them. They're all lowball estimates ... they are numbers pulled out of nether regions to placate you and get you to sign up for your new wonderful entitlement. Obama said that health care reform would not increase the deficit by one cent. He's lying. He's lying .. and he knows it.

Just take a look at this nifty little table I drew up. Take a look at some government health-related entitlement programs and what the politicians said they would cost. Then take a look at what they actually cost us. Then tell me you believe these Democrats and their cost estimates.

Why are these Democrats so hell bent on getting their so-called health "reform" package passed? Save money? Hardly. Improve the quality of health care? You must be dreaming. Well ... I'm not only good at tables, I'm pretty good at creating equations. Now this isn't exactly E-MC2 ... but it works just as well.
