It’s All in the Numbers

I thought I’d go in a little different direction in this week’s blog. Here is a list of numbers from 1 to 13.6 trillion, and their significance.

1 – Number of Presidents who have picked Joe Biden to be their Vice President.

9 – Number of vacations taken by Barack Obama since he’s been President.

53 – Rounds of golf played by President Obama since taking office.

57 – Number of states Barack Obama claims he’s been to.

68 – Percent of Americans who think the Stimulus was a waste.

79 – Percent of Stimulus funds for “green” energy projects that went to FOREIGN firms.

80 – Percent of small businesses that could be forced to change their health care plans as a
result of Obamacare.

83 – Number of fundraisers Barack Obama has attended since becoming President.

$43,000 – Amount you personally owe towards the national debt.

89,000 – Number of Stimulus checks sent to dead or incarcerated people.

1.2 million – Number of Americans who have given up even looking for work.

2.6 million – Number of jobs lost since the Stimulus was passed.

14.8 million – Total number of unemployed Americans.

$814 billion – Cost of President Obama’s failed Stimulus.

$868.4 billion – American debt held by China.

$2.5 trillion – Total cost of Obamacare.

$3 trillion – Amount added to the national debt since President Obama took office less than three years ago.

$13.6 trillion – Our current national debt.

(Special thanks to Bob Beauprez at Townhall for a lot of this information.)

And one more number for you – 0. What would be the significance of zero? Well there was a story in the New York Times yesterday headlined “Congressional Voting Records Show Few With Perfect Attendance.” In fact, according to the article, there are only 15 members of the House of Representatives (out of 435) who haven’t missed a single vote in Congress all year (and only 1 out of the 18 Members of Congress from Ohio.)

I’m happy to say that that person is – yours truly. Coincidently, when I was first elected to Congress back in 1994, I was the only one of the huge new class of Republicans elected that year (there were 73 of us) to not miss a single vote the entire first year.

I take very seriously my responsibility of representing the people of the first Congressional District of Ohio, and one of those responsibilities is actually showing up to vote. I’ll continue to work as hard and as diligently as possible to earn your support.

See you next week.
