Change is only an illusion

An historic milestone was reached in October this year when the budget deficit hit 1.4 trillion under the leadership of president Obama. Its predicted to reach 1.8 trillion by year's end.
So whats a trillion? Hard to explain, but lets take a shot at it. If you borrowed 1 million dollars from me and you agreed to pay me back at one dollar per second it would take you 11 days to payoff the debt. One billion dollars paid back at one dollar per second would take you 32 years, and one trillion would take you a whopping 32,000 years to pay me back. Will deficit ever be overcome? By the way the national debt is now 11 trillion dollars. Mr. Obama please show us the change....
