September 14, 2007, 5:54am (report abuse)To educate one child in the Wake County (NC) Public Schools it is approximately $8,900 per year. Our schools are overloaded and we must build more due to illegal aliens. Show me ONE illegal alien family that pays this amount in federal, state and local taxes? Who then pays the difference? We do. Multiply this number by the number of illegal alien kids or anchor babies that will soon be show as just another illegal alien.
Congress (both Democrat and Republican) and all presidents for decades have been breaking this country financially. We are up to debt past our eyeballs.
Our federal debt is $8.3 TRILLION DOLLARS! Communist Red China owns $560 BILLION dollars of our IOUs and still has $1.3 TRILLION dollars, cash, in the bank. They are building their first navy in over 500 years and they have always said they will destroy us. We are helping them with our money. Does anyone see anything disturbing about this?
$100 trilion federal debt
December 16, 2008, 11:50am (report abuse)We are actually $100 trillion dollars in debt. Who says so? The President of the Dallas Federal Reserve, Richard W. Fisher. In a May speech at the Commonwealth Club of California, he states that the US national debt is close to $100 trillion. You can read his whole speech at the Federal Reserve web site. http://www.dallasfed.org/news/speeches/fisher/index.cfm
