Happy Holiday!?

According to the Americans for Tax Reform Foundation and the Center for Fiscal Accountability, August 19th was Cost of Government Day.

In 2010, Cost of Government Day falls on August 19. That means working people must toil 231 days out of the year just to meet all costs imposed by government. In other words, the cost of government consumes 63.41 percent of national income.

“Two years ago Americans worked until July 16 to pay for the cost of government: all federal, state and local government spending and regulatory costs.  That government was too expensive and wasteful.  Two years later, we work until August 19 for the same bloated government.  We have lost an additional full month of our income to pay the cost of government in just the last two years,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.

At this rate, Cost of Government Day will fall after Labor Day in no time.

Time it right and it could be a 5 day weekend.

Party On!!
