With all of the talk about the fiscal cliff, I stopped listening to all of the noise of politicians and decided to do the math. Our debt ceiling will soon be raised to 18.3 trillion dollars which means that there is still no attempt whatsoever to balance any upcoming budget but that's another story. Let's stay with the debt. With a meager 1% interest rate, the monthly interest payment on the debt is $15.25 billion. If you apply that to all 155 million working americans that would come to $98.13 per month per working American and keep in mind that does not include any reduction of the actual debt.
Since we know that our president wants only those making over $250,000 per year to take care of this, that means that this bill will fall on the backs of 2% of Americans or 6.28 million people. This means that the monthly bill for each of these "evil rich people" would be $2,428 or $29,140 per year.
Politicians lie but the math does not. We are doomed. Here's why.
1. The interest rate will not be 1% forever.
2. Unemployment will explode because the money paid for the interest will not be invested to hire people and grow businesses. In fact, people will be laid off so that the increased tax bill can be paid.
3. Tax revenues will decrease when there are less people working and no longer paying taxes.
4. I do not think that anyone seriously believes that the ongoing budgets will be balanced. This means that the debt will continue to grow on top of this.
We will eventually have to default on our debt. It's not if but when. Don't let your federal elected officials continue to blow smoke. Ask them about the math.
I would be interested in seeing any proof that Communism works.Quote:
