How well do you understand the government decisions that will end up coming out of your pocket? </p> <p> Here is essential information that every American citizen needs&#8212;and has the right&#8212;to know. This guide to deciphering the jargon of the country's budget problem covers everything from the country's $9 trillion and growing debt to the fact that, for thirty-one out of the last thirty-five years, the country has spent more on government programs and services than it has collected in taxes. It also explores why elected leaders on every side of the fence have so far failed to effectively address this issue and explains what you can do to protect your future. </p> 2771139 1 2 2008 Where Does the Money Go?: Your Guided Tour to the Federal Budget Crisis total:50|5:14|4:23|3:12|2:1| 50 200 102 15 3 0 false false Fri Oct 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 16:29:52 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 21:37:01 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Nov 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 08 18:13:10 -0700 2008 Thu Nov 06 09:44:04 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Dec 29 13:58:17 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 13:58:17 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Dec 12 08:25:28 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 08:28:05 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 03 15:23:37 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 15:24:16 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Mar 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 05:04:20 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 23 09:33:38 -0700 2008
