So What Happens When…
…you spend recklessly, outspending the amount of income you have? Generally, you have a big problem. Well, consider this. The first line shows that the closing balance today for the Federal Reserve is $14.159B and in the lower right you’ll see that the daily burn rate for today was $12.8B. Given that there are no scheduled issuances of long-term T-bills until next week which would help fund this, it looks like if we might have a problem funding the country for the rest of the week.
Talk about living not just paycheck-to-paycheck but day-to-day. Way to go Mr. Genius Timmy Geithner.
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
