Even Dems might understand this!

Following analysis of our national debt was sent to me by my daughter:



I also read an interesting article on our national debt.  It took eight 0's off the actual debt to compare it to a household budget.  Here's what it looked like...



U.S. annual tax revenue: $2,340,000,000,000

Federal annual spending budget: $3,590,000,000,000

New annual debt from overspending this year:  $1,250,000,000,000

National debt:  $15,400,000,000,000

Last year's budget cut by Congress: $38,500,000,000



-Now remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget-



Annual income: $23,400

Budget:  $35,900

New debt added to credit cards: $12,500

Outstanding balance on credit cards: $154,000

Total cuts to the family budget: $385


Think we have a problem?

Scary times. If people don't wake up our country will be lost.
