PAYING OFF THE NATIONAL DEBT ----- AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT

                                            

         PAYING OFF THE NATIONAL DEBT

                AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT


        Our country, thanks to the irresponsible spending of our incompetent political leadership, has put this nation on the verge of financial collapse.

   It is obvious that the average citizen cannot wrap their mind around the size and scope of the pending collapse facing our monetary system today. 

   We are now approaching thirty-four trillion dollars in debt. As it stands today the total amounts to a number that is beyond comprehension to a vast majority of working-class Americans.

Thirty thee trillion, 899 billion, 227 million, 500 thousand dollars and climbing as of December 2023. Spelling it out sounds huge but the actual number is overwhelming.

                 $33,899,227,500,000.00

   If you listen to Congress and our Senate, you will hear how worried they are and how they intend to “fix it”. The truth is it cannot be fixed, and it never will be. They knew this before they put us in this hole, they didn’t care then, and they don’t care now.

   To put this in perspective let’s say these mathematically challenged eeliest masterminds decided to pay off the entire national debt at the speed of light.

  Light travels at 186,000 (thousand) miles per second, in one minute a beam of light extends a distance of 11,160,000 miles, in a single hour that extends to 669,600,000 miles, over sixteen billion miles a day, 16,070,400,000 miles in a 24-hour period. That adds up to over 86 trips to the sun and back in one day.

  Flip the pages on the calendar ahead twelve months and you have five trillion, eight hundred and sixty-five billion, 696 million miles, a number that is beyond imagination, 5,865,696,000,000 miles.

   If these elitist political geniuses decided to pay the national debt off at the speed of light, at a rate of $186,000 per second, one dollar per mile at the speed of light, it would take over five years and nine months for that light to reach the $33,899,227,500,000.00 of accumulated debt the country has acquired at this point in time.

  Unfortunately, by the time the five years and nine months of light speed reimbursement was obtained the debt would have increased by an astronomical amount due to interest.   

So, the next time you hear someone tell you we need to send more money for the Ukrainian war, more money to feed and house over ten million illegal immigrants, pay raises for congress and Senators, more handouts for their pork barrel projects you might think about asking them exactly where they intend to obtain this ‘free’ money they wish to squander and just exactly how they intend to pay for it.

  Even at the speed of light, that would be almost as fast as the mental process exhibited by the individual setting in our Oval Office at present, there is no chance that we can avoid a total collapse of our currency. Wake up America, the free ride is coming to an end.
