This should help simplify it

US 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 0's from each line and pretend it is a family budget so we can all understand

Annual family income: $21,700
Money the family spent $38,200
New debt on the credit card: $16,500
Outstanding credit card balance: $142,710
Total budget cut some politicians take pride in : $385

Are you kidding me ? Stop this insanity and vote these big spenders out, they are stealing from your children and grandchildren.
