Today (Good Friday) is an official holiday for many. When I was in school, many, many years ago, I thought we should have Good Friday and Easter Monday off. As I grew older, I realized it was better to be in class than following a mule and planter.

Ran across a couple of interesting notes related to the US debt recently:

1962: US debt was $300,000,000,000.

April 15, 2017 @ 4AM the debt was $19,874,805,750,900 and growing by the second. Fast approaching the $20 trillion mark.

Check US National Debt Clock, scary!

In 2016, the debt for the month of March was $108 billion.
In 2017, same time period the debt was $170.2 billion.

Burning up cash!

In 1983, President Reagan signs a $165 billion Social Security rescue.

Oh yes, another reason to file your 2016 tax info by Tuesday, April 18. If late, Uncle Sam may be looking for you.

Slowly but surely, NCDOT continues the recovery from Hurricane Mathew. For folks inconvenienced by roads still closed, aggravating, no doubt. Just takes time. Easy for me to say, roads near me are open.

Looking forward to Easter with family and friends.

Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life. Janine di Giovanni
