Here is a great lesson on U.S. finances.

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

Time to fire up the printing presses and pay the bills!    It costs less than a buck to print a 1,000.00 bill.   

[Tilar]

That's because a buck is all it's worth.

i heard the drug cartels will pay 30-50K to tranport a load of drugs across the border, if we all sacrifice one weekend we could put a huge dent in that national debt and you would be keeping the illegals from taking those jobs at the same time...................
