Cost of Government Day...A new record!...
Submitted by Rex Bell on Sun, 09/20/2009 - 5:52pm.
I guess it's one of the signs of being an old man to reminisce about how much things used to cost. I've been in business long enough to remember when some new houses cost what some lawnmowers cost now.
I also remember, not to many years ago, when Americans only had to work 6 months out of the year to pay for the government.
This year, according to the folks over at Americans for Tax Reform, we had to work until August 12th to meet those obligations. That is a new record, and beat the 1982 previous record by 23 days.
Next year, I think I'll just stay in bed until September.
