Since these knuckleheads in Washington don’t understand where the money comes from, maybe we need to tell them how to solve the problem.

How Many Concerts Would Taylor Swift Have to Perform to Pay Off One Day’s Interest on the Debt?

Taylor Swift brings in big bucks–but not compared to the national debt.

Taylor Swift performed at the Xcel Energy Center on her first of three performances this weekend… ] (KYNDELL HARKNESS/STAR TRIBUNE) kyndell.harkness@startribune.com..Taylor Swift concert at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Min., Friday September 11, 2015.

If Taylor Swift decided she’d help Uncle Sam with some of those interest payments on our $18.1 trillion national debt, she’d have to do a lot of concerts.

And what if famous boxer Floyd Mayweather wanted to pay off our whole debt? Well, let’s hope he knows the secret for how to live a few centuries.

What if Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers decided he wanted to help out and pay off some of the debt?

OK, OK, but let’s say some other rich folks got in the game. Let’s look at Bill Gates, the world’s richest person. Would he have close to enough?

Oh. OK, maybe not.

So surely since we’re in so much debt, we’re at least making sure we’re not adding to that debt at a significant rate, right?  (Below is the big spender – never worked a day in his life and never had to worry about how to get it – people were just hanging around ready to give him money like Reverend Wright.)

Yeah, actually, we’re adding to it really fast.

And if we keep up with this … the long-term outlook isn’t great.

But the newest budget deal, pushed by President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, just boosts the debt limit by $1.5 trillion. And it does so by putting off savings until further in the future.

Sources: Congressional Budget Office and Heritage Foundation calculations.

So I guess we’re banking on Taylor Swift deciding some day she’s a workaholic … and only working to help pay off the interest of the national debt.

This article has been corrected to reflect how much the proposed increase would make the national debt.

Folks, we have got to put a stop to these people spending money we do not have!  The reason they continue this spending is to keep them in the saddle of the horses they are riding and holding the reins of those horses which is the taxpayers.  If are out of debt they have no power over us.  It is time to  literary shoot those horses and get them out of their misery.  Because if you look at those numbers above – we have an enormous misery index.

Any one have a solution on how to solve this problem?  I gave you mine!
