Seen some figures on the estimated damage costs from huricane Irene yesterday. Costs ranged from 4 billion to an estimated 13 billion dollars for the damages caused.....

Now, a storm like this can really mess up the eastern seaboard and the costs are real and it boggles the mind thinking of all the people that have to adjust because of it.

BUT what really hit home was that fact that the national debt is FAR more destructive in cost!......estimated around 4 billion dollars are borrowed PER DAY now.

These numbers of our spending set a harsh hopeless reality in my mind....how can a massive storm potentially wipe out the eastern seaboard of our country only equal a few days of debt spending to the government????

Anyone else see how horribly wrong a path we are on? Irene was a cool breeze in our faces compared to what we are heading toward economically people!!!!

For the love of all things still worth a darn.....Obongo has to go in 2012!!!
