The budget explained in simple English.

I love it when complex things are simplified so that we can all understand.

United States 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 cut:$38,500,000,000

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 credit card:$142,710
Total budget cuts which some politicians are proud about:$385

Stop the insanity now. Vote them out and demand a balanced budget.
