The US Budget explained for yah

BRILLIANTLY EXPLAINED.
 
This rather brilliantly cuts thru all the political doublespeak we get.
It puts it into a much better perspective.
 
Lesson # 1:
 
* U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
* Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
* New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
* National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
* Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000
 
Let's now remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget:
 
* Annual family income: $21,700
* Money the family spent: $38,200
* New debt on the credit card: $16,500
* Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
* Total budget cuts so far: $3.85
 
Got It ?????
 
OK now Lesson # 2: Here's another way to look at the Debt Ceiling:
 
Let's say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceiling.
 
What do you think you should do?
 
Raise the ceiling or pump out the shit?
 
Your choice is coming this November!
