Appropriate place to start......

Sit down and take a deep breath......and then wander over to this link.  You may want to have the paramedics on standby.

Link -> US Debt Clock

Really????......one federal employee for every 72 or so Americans?  ......and one illegal immigrant for every 30 Americans?  Would you rather not know that your share of the national debt is over $110,000?  Over $34,000 in annual taxes - assuming you are a taxpayer - and if the government did not spend another penny your taxes for the next three years would not cover the principal and interest?  Over $106,000,000,000,000 - that is $106 trillion for those keeping score - in UNFUNDED liabilities for these United States.

Does this make you want to hand more control of anything to the federal government?  Red state, blue state, sad state of affairs!!
