A trillion dollars!

The Joint Committee on Taxation, an independent, bi-partisan organization, says the new tax bill will add ONE TRILLION DOLLARS to the national debt every year. Just how much money is that?

One Trillion Dollars = (one million x one million) dollars.

There are about 323 million people in the United States.
Dividing $1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion dollars) by 323,000,000 (three hundred twenty-three million) people, you get

$3,095.98 MORE DEBT for every man, woman, and child in the country.  EVERY YEAR.

That's in addition to the $20.2 trillion we already owe.  It's also in addition to all the other deficit spending they were already doing.

Put it this way:

Congress has already saddled us and our children and grand children with a debt amounting to $62.000 EACH.

For a typical family of four, that means a current debt of $248,000, the price of a new home in most of the country.

And they just voted to add to that debt $12,000 MORE, EVERY YEAR.

Would you vote to take a twelve thousand dollar pay cut every year? 

That's what your senators and representatives just did to you.  SEND NO ONE BACK!
