Here are five questions that every American should know the answer to before they enter a ballot box.

1.  What is the total spending of the federal budget?
2. What is the most recent federal deficit?
3. What is the current national debt?
4.  What was the most recent annual interest payments on the current national debt?
5.  What is the current interest rate and what would the annual interest payments be at rates of 6% and 10%?

If after answering these five questions correctly you don't think we are in serious fiscal trouble in this country and have not committed generational theft you have no intellect.  It is even worse if you answer these five questions but go back to 2006, before the Dems took control of Congress....or even with Bush's last budget.
