So let’s say that someone nice sent the government one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) today and everyday to help pay off just this year’s deficit not the debt which is 15+ trillion. How long would that take?

$1,000,000.00 everyday

$365,000,000.00 after a year

$3,650,000,000.00 after 10 years

$36,500,000,000.00 after 100 years

$365,000,000,000.00 after 1000 years

$1.2 trillion after 3 287.67123 years

We have to stop spending now, that over 3000 years at 1 million a day

So my kid doesn’t like his brand new teacher, she has a different way of teaching and makes him work a little harder and not expect an easy grade. So we call the teacher a bad name then mount a campaign to get them fired and protest at their home day and night with signs saying bad teacher. All of this because my kid doesn’t like the way the teacher teaches, even though most everyone else in the class does. Maybe its not a bad teacher, maybe its a bad student.

Lets just slow down and see what happens, we get to change politicians every 4 years and that’s enough. Just remember what comes around goes a round.

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class.  That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan” …All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.  The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.  As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D!  No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.  (Please pass this on).

Remember, there IS a test coming up.  The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
