So in order to secure a loan for $700 billion the US Government voted to raise the legal debt ceiling to 11.3 Trillion Dollars. This is bad enough I suppose, but it makes you wonder, how did they end up with such a round figure. I mean it isn't like the amount is around 700 billion, it's $ 700,000,000,000.00 on the nose. So how did they come up with that number? Well in an interview with forbs.com, a Treasury spokes woman explained, "It's not based on any particular data point... We just wanted to choose a really large number."

I know Americans have guns, and I know that there are militias that don't trust the government, so why hasn't anyone decided to start a revolution against the government.
