US Fiscal cliff explained ...
 

Got this by email. Likely been making the rounds online. Its funny and sad at the same time. This puts things into a much better perspective regarding the fiscal cliff and debt ceiling

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: $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: $ 38.50

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 remove the shit?

:thumbsup

when the "shit" (i don't know what) will happen ?

remove the shit starting with all the high payed useless pieces of shit in office.

budget cuts and you can print money as much as you want, more as people control cuts
