Letter from Glada Costales
Politics – April 2004 – Colorado Central Magazine
Dear Editors:
I heard on CNN last week that our federal government’s debt — the accumulation of past budget shortfalls — now totals more than $7 trillion. Do you know how many 0’s this is? $7,000,000,000,000.00. It is certainly immoral to run a national debt exceeding $7 trillion, every penny of which our children and grandchildren will be responsible for paying back.
