The budget explained in simple English:

I love it when complex things are simplified so that we all can understand.

. United States 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 Cut: $38,500,000,000

Now, remove eight 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 Credit Card: $142,710

.Total budget cuts which some politicians are proud of: $385

Stop the insanity now, Vote them all out and demand a balanced budget.

To that I would add:

Medical bills we will owe, but haven’t yet recieved the bill for (unfunded liabilities for social security, medicare, etc.) (also with 8 zeros removed)...$1,168,836

I’m going to send this to some liberal relatives. Part of me hopes they will get it, but I have thought they would see the light in the past only to be astounded by their ability at warped reasoning.
