The federal tax revenue / budget 2021:

​

Tax revenue: $4,714,000,000,000

Federal budget: $6,818,000,000,000

Recent debt: $2,104,000,000,000

National debt: $26,900,000,000,000

​

The numbers are so huge we will’t even conceive of them.

Seriously- our brains just can’t handle numbers that big…

1 million seconds can be just over every week and a half.

1 billion seconds can be almost 32 years.

1 trillion seconds can be over 31 thousand years…

​

So we delete a bunch of zeroes to bring it to household income levels-

Annual family income: $47,140

Money the family spent: $68,180

Recent debt on the bank card: $21,040

Outstanding balance on the bank card:$269,000

​

If you happen to saw anyone running their funds like this could you say they were responsible with their money? Would you’re thinking that that was a sustainable option to run a household? Wouldn’t you’re thinking that “Wow, those persons are about to go bankrupt spending like that…”
