Why does Ron always throw in the dollar figure of government obligations in astronomical numbers such as 60 trillion that goes over listeners heads and means nothing.

Why doesn't he simply divide it, say by 300 million and say that government has put every man, woman and child $200,000 in debt, which people can relate to? He should watch that miss South Carolina video and explain it to her. She, along with perhaps eight out of ten people wouldn't know what trillion is or what it means to them.

This kind of problem permeates nearly everything he speaks about. He is speaking from the perspective of an economist or scientist writing a scientific paper, not from a perspective of the audience he is trying to explain it to.

Where are all his big buck advisors? That kind of thing should be pretty basic. Speak to the audience, regular folk, take into account their perspective, don't talk to some imaginary peer reviewer for a scientific journal.
