They flip out if One "owes" them a Thousand Dollars but they don't do **** about our $11,959,000,000,000 deficit (or about 75% of the GDP) except raise the debt ceiling and shut down day-to-day processes thus letting functionality grind to a halt so they can still afford to pay themselves their precious and exorbitant salaries, whilst every-fucking-thing else deteriorates by the minute and is foreclosed upon. **I think that we as a Nation should instate that Politicians are unable to pay themselves until we have a surplus of money with which to reward them for their keen, honest, wise and diligent* (get this: ) *Public Service; *rather than allowing them to serve themselves well above the supposed "Land of the Free" they supposedly represent supposedly so selflessly.* The System is ****** for us, as citizens; though it works exactly as designed for those holding the marionette strings.**

That big-ass number is 11.959 TRILLION DOLLARS. That's a shit-ton of paper. Maybe the Pope can bail us out (and remove the guise of separation of Church and State once and for all) with all the money he saves because of the Catholic church abiding by the Holocaust during WW2.
