My accountant posted this on facebook:

 

I love it when complex things are made simple.

 

* 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: $385

 

Smart guy. The tax refund he got me is more than my mom made last year.
