1. The size of the budget requested by Dubya for 2009
2. $10,333 spent for every man, woman and child in the US.
3. $8.5 Billon spent every day (i.e. the annual revenues collected by Starbucks are about $9.5B)
4. $22,267 spent for every American that is actually working. (From 2000 US Census)
The really sad thing is, this does not include money to fight the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The link below is a great article from the Mercatus Center.
