Obama's Federal Budget

Well, I'm just tired of waiting for readers, so I'm gonna keep on blogging anyway.


I was thinking today about the federal budget plan in place. The amount is currently a three trillion dollars, and for anyone who can't tell the difference between millions, billions and trillions, here's what a trillion dollars looks like:


$1,000,000,000,000.00


That's a million times a million. Multiply that by three, and you get the budget plan. So, speaking of multiplication, I decided to do a little math concerning the tax burden that it will put on us.


I looked up the population of America on the U.S. Census Bureau website. It said that the population was estimated at 304,059,724 on July 1st of 2008. So, based on the previous numbers, I estimated that by now, the population will have grown to about 307 million, but because of the deadly swine flu pandemic, and the devastating effects of global warming, we'll round it down to 306,999,998.


Now if you take the budget plan, and divide it by the total population, you should get the amount that every one has to pay in order to pay for Obama's budget. Let's try it:


3,000,000,000,000 / 306,999,998 = 9771.9870343451924061576052518411


or about $9771.99


That's how much more you'd have to pay over the span of four years in order to make up for Obama's spending plan, and that not even counting how many people who don't pay many taxes, how many people aren't even old enough to pay taxes, the interest that will accumulate on that debt, or the number of people that will die from global warming before they can pay their taxes.

And by the way, that means that you evil business owners and rich people will have to make up for those who can't pay.

I wish I could say that I have confidence in what Obama's spending it on.
