This is one of the best explanations of this country's economic condition I ever received...that is why I'm sending it out to you... Maybe you will appreciate it as I did...




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: $385




Got It ?????

    What will I do? Blame the government and pretend I am not responsible for this because of my silence and inaction and apathy. Same thing everyone else is doing. Blame the government...In the U.S.A. the citizens are the government. The politicians are our representatives, our employees. They are just doing what the government ( we ) allow them to do. Say you own a car lot. Your salesmen lie,steal,cheat and tell you what you have to do and what you cannot do. They run up a huge bill, vote themselves pay raises, gives your money to gangs around town, ignore your company policies and such. What would you do? Remain silent, inactive and apathetic? Have keyboard,will rant.

    Unfortunately they are not as some would assume incompetent. Our glorious leader is trying to bring down the country by making it collapse in on itself. He is doing a pretty good job of it too. VOTE IN NOVEMBER !!
