Amortization and hidden costs. Spread out over ten years, with cost allowances built in. Do you REALLY think the government's going to just take the promised dollar from you once it gets its hand in your pocket? The U.S. government is now a shell corporation for the big banks. You pay in your taxes, they get sent to Goldman Sachs. And the media lies to you about the amount stolen.

Like the scam going on now with the "Payroll Tax Cut." Big political football between the Democrats and the Republicans. Obama says he won one for the working guy, but those tax cuts mean less money going into Social Security. So it'll help kill Social Security. Which is what the Republicans have historically wanted. The two parties work together on this stuff, always have. That's why you're only allowed two choices in the voting booth.
