Here is another story, that IS true. The debt explained;
US 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
Now, lets remove 8 zeros and pretend its a household budget:
*Annual family income: $21,700
*Money the family spent: $38,200
*New debt on Credit Card: $16,500
*Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
*Total budget cuts: $385
Get the picture yet?
