Washington Spending
Let’s cut thru the political doublespeak and put into perspective
Washington spending (2012).
Lesson #1:
U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
Federal 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
Lets 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: $385
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 ceilings. What do you think you should do? Raise the ceilings, or
pump out the crap?
