U.S. budget numbers in household terms

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.
