Data Point- Government spending

by Skip

A couple of facts:

The administration of President Barack Obama has already increased the national debt in fiscal 2011–which ends this coming Friday–by an amount greater than the cost of the entire federal government in fiscal 1970, when Richard Nixon was president.

Who knew that one day, our debt would be larger than a "modern era" Federal / national budget? (H/T: Boortz)

 

“It’s amusing to consider that Elon Musk has built an entire manned spaceflight program for less money than Obama pissed away on Solyndra. (Well, actually, it’s horrifyingly depressing. But a useful comparison, withal.)

That would be SpaceX, a company that Elon founded (along with Paypal and Tesla Motors, H/T: Instapundit)

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
