This rather brilliantly cuts thru all the political doublespeak we get.
 It puts it into a much better perspective.

 Lesson # 1: per year

  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

 Let's 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 so far: $3xx.xx8xx5xx

 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?

 Your choice is coming Nov. 2012.

 According to the American networks (even Fox News) the Man From Kenya is not going to
 relinquish the second term easily. I was really surprised by the fact that he was
 leading The Banker by so many points in the polls. I realise it`s early days yet, but
 where is the walk-over everyone was expecting?

 Erik in Oz.

 It is now  just changing. Wait till millions see 2016.

 John, the reason that the media isn't reporting it is because the
bitch is spending $150,000,000 per year on spin doctors, and how about
the commissioning of that "report" that simply restates the previous
governments policy of dealing with the "invaders". We now need new gun
laws to deal with the undesirables that have entered the country under
her watch. If you speak out about those foreigners and their way of
the world your labelled a "racist" which is stifling freedom of
speech. Rrrrrrrr makes me mad!!! if they don't like what is goin' on
in their country they should do what our forebears did, pickup a gun
and fight, don't run to another country and inflict us with their b/s
ways. Like the U.S. we had a way that worked and now we are changing
to accommodate foreigners. Where is Pauline Hanson when you need her.
What a disgrace. Pisses me off.Bloody commies. I need a paper bag,
gotta stop there.
