		What is Washington's Spending Costing You? Health Care Mandates. Bailouts. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Congressional Budget Office can tell you that, due to unprecedented federal spending, the current U.S. debt has ballooned to $13.4 trillion. They expect our ever-increasing national debt to skyrocket past $23 trillion Dr. Emily Skarbek Research Fellow The Independent Institute by 2020. But one thing they can't predict is just how much current and future debt personally weighs on you and me. Amid chaotic war strategies gone wrong, bailouts with minimal results, and Social Security squeezing the livelihood out of our youth, do you know how many dollars' worth of liability you owe? How much are you willing to incur before you decide that enough is enough--that it is time to take stock and make a stand? In response to this pressing question, The Independent Institute has launched MyGovCost.org. It features the personal Government Cost Calculator that crunches the painful numbers to render an account of your individual burden within these federal spending sprees by month, year, and during your lifetime. Directed by economist Dr. Emily Skarbek, the Calculator will generate a personalized forecast of the costs you stand to face from a profligate White House and Congress that view your assets as a bottomless pit. To help you measure the true value of your tax dollars, the Calculator will also estimate how much you could earn by privately investing your earnings in the stock market. For example, a recent college graduate earning $35,000 a year faces a lifetime tax burden of approximately $610,000, averaging $886 in monthly taxes. If those dollars had been invested instead of being sent to Uncle Sam, that same college graduate could have earned more than $4.2 million. Join us in holding government's feet to the fire and demanding accountability for the reckless spending! Help us spread the word about MyGovCost.org!
