Some Interesting Math

So I was thinking about the biggest budget ever submitted to Congress (and believe me I was not happy about the spending under Bush) of $3.5 Trillion. Thats 3,500,000,000,000.00! So I thought lets see how much we are spending per day in this budget since Jesus was born. For simplicity we will say Jesus was born 2000 years ago, and there were only 365 days in each of those 2000 years. 2000 Years x 365 Days = 730,000 Days. $3,500,000,000,000.00 / 730,000 Days = $4,794,530.55 per day since Jesus was born! This is on top of TARP, on top of the Omnibus Spending Bill, on top of the nearly $1 Trillion 'Stimulus' Bill need I go on. Kind of interesting in a scary sort of way.
