[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 408880, member: 2189"] Hey Paid, this morning I saw this feature on [URL]http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/10/04/dnt.lemon.natl.debt.clock.cnn[/URL]. It reminds me almost in 1913' when the 16th amendment (Income Tax) was being debated and at the time the highest tax rate was 1%. Someone proposed they include in the law a cap that the tax rate could never go above 5% and the Congress laughed as if someone had just said that aliens with land in Roswell NM in 1947' too. I guess in the early 1980's when the clock was put up that the thought of the debt going over $10 trillion was also like them little green men. Geez! I just had the thought that maybe those were little green men in Roswell after all! :bigsmile2: [/QUOTE]
