Those who have prayed for the destruction of the United States should be smiling at this. No one has to destroy us, we are doing it to ourselves.
Sadly, it looks like we will take most of the world into the toilet with us.
If the top 1% of tax payers are asked to pick up the same share of the tab as currently they will have to come up with $2.2 trillion. If you spread that out to the top 5% paying $3.57 trillion.

yes but i read somewhere that it DOES include the costs of the wars in iraq and afghanistan, which were always kept secret by your superhero republican party - thus completely negating your 30% figure i would imagine.
and on the same subject, how the hell did your republicans for the last few years go 'this is our budget for the year, apart from this stuff cos we dont want you to know how much it costs!'
