Found this from an old email, worth reviewing.... This rather brilliantly cuts thru all the political doublespeak we get........... Food for thought..... This puts it into a much better perspective and is the same for many countries in Europe ... Why the U.S. was downgraded: * 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 Lets now remove 8 zeros and pretend its 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: Heres another way to look at the Debt Ceiling: Lets 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? Your choice is coming Nov. 2016
