>> Government Accounting Is Like Lemonade Stand Economics It is a huge part of the problem. Driving home, I heard a guy on the radio talking about the budget, and he said, "It is $57 Million. That's like 2 or 3 cents on each dollar of the budget; it doesn't really matter". These people have no idea the magnitude of any of these numbers, and when you talk about 10s of trillions it is meaningless to them. It could just as easily be 10s of billions or 10s of millions. It is all the same.
