The Way I see it

Let's start out with complete transparency, I don't understand the current US debt crisis or really finances in general. Personally, I try to spend less than I make and put the rest in savings and, so far, that's worked out for me.

But I came across this quote today:

"If the US Government was a family, they would be making $58,000 a year, they spend $75,000 a year and are $327,000 in credit card debt. They are currently proposing BIG spending cuts to reduce their spending to $72,000 a year. These are the actual proportions of the federal budget and debt, reduced to a level that we can understand."

If this is true, this doesn't sound like good financial stewardship to me ...
