132.9 Billion still owed to the taxpayers
According to a story I just read, taxpayers are still owed $132.9 billion dollars from the bailout. Figure seems a tad low, but okay, I will buy that figure...providing Uncle Sam can do me the following.
Right now there is a population of 312,000,000, that's 312 million in the U.S. But by the time they get around to realizing this figure, I will add in a million. Divide the 132.9 billion by 313 million and you get $443 per person.
Now to Nutsy Newt and Millionaire Mittens, that is just chicken feed. So they can just donate their share, or maybe Newt can start to pay off his Tiffany's charges.
As for me, my disabled veteran husband, my disabled daughter, and my 81 year old mother living on SS, I will happily take a check for all four of us in the amount of $1772 for the four of us. This check must not bounce. I cannot afford the fees my bailed out bank charges.
With this money I can turn my heat up tonight past 66 degrees since it is supposed to get to 27 outside my mobile home. With this money I can get a new winter coat for my hubby since his 7 year old one has lost its stuffing. I can afford all my meds since my copays on 17 different scrips went up about 40-47% each. I can put hamburger in my hamburger helper. I can get my 90000 mile check on my 11 year old car that now has 94500 miles on it.
Okay, I admit to a little bit of stretching the truth here....I know the government is not sending me what they owe me....but it is nice to know that a girl can dream and laugh and still prove a point.
And before I get any crappy letters from people telling me I am unAmerican, disenchanted, negative, lazy....it is my opinion and I am entitled to it. Don't like it? Don't by god read it then! Don't get it? Too bad, so sad...not everyone agrees....isn't that what makes this country so incredible to begin with??????
Peace out!
