How You Too Can Go Broke

Here’s your dilemma:  Your household income is about $60,000 a year yet you are spending $83,662. How long will you last?  It’s hard for any working stiff to get a handle on a federal budget of over $3 trillion so I reduce it to these numbers that may be a little closer to home. Your household income of $60,000 represents the total revenue confiscated from taxpayers by the federal government. Your spending represents the government’s spending.
Would cutting $335 a year out of that almost $84,000 budget make your household solvent? That’s the “extreme” proposal on the table before Congress right now. It’s a proposal the Democrats can’t accept because it’s too extreme. Cutting $335 out of an almost $84,000 annual budget will starve children, kill old people and put hundreds of thousands out of work.
Here’s the question before the country:  can you expect Democrats to be serious about our country’s dire financial crises if they can’t even cut $335 out of an $84,000 budget?
Any wonder why the electorate rejected liberalism (again) in November?
