mhailey, now that you're shocked, have you got any plans for your personal contribution to decreasing that part to the right of the blue line?

Or may be you have an updated video that's not one year old. I seem to remember there was some voting for death panels. If that's not gonna cut the big pile on the left of the white line I don't know what else will.
No, the problem is that me, my children, and my grandchildren, are going to have to deal with these "simple numbers" for the remainder of time. There is no governmental will to take the hard yet necessary actions, ie. cutting social security/medicare, and raise taxes with the sole purpose of paying off the debt (and having this tax sunset once the debt is paid). My plan is to vote against any incumbent that as been for big government and wasteful spending (that is all of the incumbents for which I can vote).

The only problem with the video being a year old is that it does not accurately portray the amount of debt to the right of the blue line, as our government has as continued to spend like a drunken sailor.
