In June 2009 the budget deficit for ONE MONTH -   topped $94 Billion for the first time.  Thats about $1,000 for each US household.

That means that your share of the national debt is going up $1,000 monthy, UP $12,000 a year. 

Of couse, if you subtract the people who don't work (too young, retired, on welfare, etc)  then your share is even higher.   How much higher?  Too scary - you do the math.

I don't know about you, but I make sacrifices each month to live within my means.  Its discouraging to hear that my debt is skyrocketing anyway due to government excess, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.

But CNN has dedicated this "assignment" to Obama's smoking problem instead. 

Just so long as we have our prioritties sorted out, eh?

Here's a link to the budget article, which is NOT being featured on CNN, of course.
