From the Palatine Tea Party…
(Palatine, Illinois) – Our public National Debt has passed $13,000,000,000,000* for the first time in our history. That is a debt per citizen of $42,030* and a debt per taxpayer of $117,992*.
It is even worse when the unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Prescription Drug, and Medicare are included which will add an additional $108,775,000,000,000+*.
In addition, just this month the CBO stated that the legislation will cost an additional $115 Billion more than originally assumed. This puts the total cost of Obamacare well OVER $1 Trillion.
Bean said, “The American people expect more from Congress. They expect fiscal responsibility and common sense. They expect us to return to the pay-as-you-go budget rules that we had enacted in the past that helped us establish a surplus, however briefly”.
