The Ultra-Green US Government
Hi there!
I’ll bet you didn’t know that the current US government under President Obama is ultra-green, did you?
Yes, it is! I read it in the German-language Swiss TeleText on the internet (see below)!
Swiss TeleText from 22 September 2009, page 135 (at that time)
Here’s a Google translation (http://translate.google.com):
“U.S. government debt to rise more strongly
The U.S. government needs to estimate
the budget deficit for the coming ten years
increased by 2 trillion dollars at the above
correction. This results to 2019 a minus of
9000 billion dollars.”
Did you understand that? Well, to put this into more understandable English:
“U.S. government debt to rise more strongly
The U.S. government needs to correct
the budget deficit for the coming
ten years upwards by 2 trillion dollars.
This results in a deficit of 9000 billion
dollars by 2019.”
Now, in English, that’s not so exciting – well, yes it is, but if you read (or try to read) the German with an English mindset (and remember that “trillion” in English is “Billion” in german), you get the following:
U.S. government debt to rise more strongly
The U.S. government needs to correct
the budget deficit for the coming
ten years upwards by 2 bio dollars.
This results in a deficit of 9 bio
dollars by 2019.
Wow! That’s even more of a deficit than the strongest green advocates could imagine! 9 bio greenbacks deficit?
WooHoo!!
:-D
All the best, and have a nice weekend!
