BRILLIANTLY EXPLAINED

I've had this for awhile. Some of you may have seen it already but it's does cut through a lot of the BS and double talk we get from our government.

Lesson # 1:

* 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: $16,100,000,000,000
* 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: $161,000
* Total budget cuts so far: $3.85

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 ????
