Let’s Get Real
Okay the campaign is in full swing here in the U.S. and the talk is about the budget. Want to see something really fascinating?
First, take a look at these numbers:
U.S. Tax Revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
Federal 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 let’s get real. Let’s use the analogy that this was YOUR household budget, so we simply remove eight zeroes from the numbers:
Your Annual Income: $21,700
Money You Spent: $38,200
New Credit Card Debt: $16,500
Outstanding Balance on Your Credit Cards: $142,710
Your New Budget Cuts: $385
Can you say BOOM!
