debt

I got this in an email today, I find it interesting and silly that this is the financial state of our country.

Why the U.S. credit rating was downgraded:   

-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.
