What is the number called that comes after a trillion, and when will we be hearing
that number in regards to how much the Democrats are spending? I just heard an ad on the Radio attacking Senator Murkowski as being on the Democrats side time after time..:think: "I don't recall" but the ad also said our country is looking at hundreds of trillions of obligations under the Democrats....Is it Ba-Zillion or just Zillion or ????
