The Front Porch

A generation or two ago, most houses had a front porch. There, people greeted and talked with passing neighbors. They discussed the family, the weather, local and not-so-local news, and civic matters. We at The Front Porch want to bring back that great institution, the front porch. We'll talk about just about anything, and do it in a neighborly, pleasant way. Sometimes we might get a little upset, but we'll always part friends and neighbors! Pull up a chair, let's chat.

Things That Make You Say "Hmmm"

As of 14 March 2010, the US National Debt is
$ 12,551,241,xxx,xxx.
That's Twelve Trillion, Five Hundred Fifty One Billion, Two Hundred Forty One Million, (moving-so -fast-hundreds-of-thousands-a-second)dollars.
This equates to a debt bill of $40, 636 for every man, woman, and child in the USA, or $114,552 for every tax-paying American.
Take a look at this link to see the debt clock.

If we wanted to pay down a billion dollars of the US debt, paying one dollar a second, it would take 31 years, 259 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. To pay off a trillion dollars of debt, at a dollar a second, would take about 32,000 years. (from uspolitics.about.com)
