Yeah, I had that one sent on Facebook. It is to simple to make the impact you hope it does. But I really like it.

Let’s take a look at fiscal year 2013′s projected numbers:

U.S. tax revenue requested: $2,900,000,000,000
Federal budget: $3,800,000,000,000
New debt (low estimate): $900,000,000,000
National debt: $16,443,000,000,000
Recent budget cuts: $15,000,000,000
Outstanding debt liabilities: $86,800,000,000,000
Found an updated one-


Now if you picture these numbers like a household budget by removing 8 zeroes, you’d get the numbers below:

Annual family income: $29,000
Family spending: $38,000
New debt in 2013: $9,000
Credit card debt: $164,430
Mortgage (on the future): $868,000
Cutting expenses: $150

Beyond this parable, there is the fact that the U.S. government has the largest tax-to-spending shortfall of any major developed nation.

A wise person would get rid of the *censored*. Our govt keeps raising the ceiling. So what does that say for the Majority who keeps voting them in?

Says that they're SHITHEADS. :D




None of this factors in what happens when the INTEREST on that massive debt goes up even ONE TENTH of a percent .... :shock:

EXCELLENT pic Carl!! Best explanation I've seen yet. 8-)

Lets take a look at another graft, unfortunately the debt & int. doesn't go away with the swearing in ceremony if the tax rates were returned after the start of the wars & the script plan paid for we would be in a lot better shape, these costs continue on. Then the recession which may or may not have been avoidable but at least lessened did us in. The debt isn't what we are planning to spend it's what we already have, it's paying the bills for whats been done & spent. There is always wasteful spending which needs to be addressed but you have to get the house in order first, we took a huge revenue cut but went right on spending without raising revenue to pay for it. http://zfacts.com/p/318.html

You can't just increase spending with out first figuring out if you can afford it. I don't just go buy a car then sit down and figure out how to pay for it. The president just raised revenues by taxing the highest earners, it's time now for some cuts. The fiscal cliff is done for now, and I vote no to raising the debt ceiling. How about a balanced budget. It's time to tighten the belt and lean this country out a little. :D

Bottom line samhill, this president has said no to any cuts. How is that Bush's fault or anyone elses? Forget anything before he took office. HE has not cut spending and has spent like a welfare mom with a credit card. Just admit it is a philosophical difference. You think more gov. is good(some form of ism) and we think less is good.(Capitalism)Stop blaming predecessors for his problems.

I didnt' even look at your link because it comes from the Whitehouse. He claims to have cut 700B in medicare but then put it into funding Obamacare which is supposed to cut spending but is coming on strong and showing what a fascist piece of crap it really is. With an accountant for a wife, it is fun to watch her when they announce some cut that was for future spending that hadn't been approved or spent yet. Or call it a cut when they include military spending we won't be spending. I am not going to buy that new Porsche I wanted this summer. See? I just cut my budget by $125,000, just like that. Obama is such a genius!

Sam - if you believe everything the White House posts on their site and releases to the public, then your just as brainwashed and naive as someone who watches only Fox News 24/7.
