Here is why S&P downgraded the US credit rating.

• 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 cut: $ 38,500,000,000

Now let’s 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

Geeeez!

Interesting.

The only candidate who is not insane about federal spending, and you call him a lunatic.

The ONLY reason our ship has not sunk is that they are plugging the holes with freshly printed dollars and even though it’s on it’s hands and knees our economy refuses to die.

The dollar is the world’s “reserve currency”. That’s why.

Not many Americans understand what this means. They will understand profoundly, when this is no longer the case.

At that point they will clamor, no, beg, for government to “do something” of course.

The Debt Ceiling Explained 

Democrats want to raise THE DEBT CEILING.
Republicans sort of understand THE DEBT CEILING.
Liberals don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.
Neocons don't understand THE DEBT CEILING. 

Here is an explanation:
Let's say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood. 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 sh!t?

Your choice is coming next November. Don't miss the opportunity.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
