fast food and budgets

Money spent on fast food in one year in America: $110 billion.

Spending bill that was just passed by the senate: $410 billion.

Isn't it an amazing thought that if we dropped the same amount of money into our country that we blithely fritter away on fast food, our national deficit would be paid off before people of my generation have kids in the work force.

Just a funny idea.

That really is interesting. And just think, if fast food went away that would be even less spent on health care.

Sounds like a win-win situation. Lower health care costs, less environmental issues (less trash) and more money for everyone!
