A pie chart to make the numbers easier to understand

Here is an easy to understand pie chart that shows the problem we are facing, if only the liberals on both sides would face up to facts.

2011 Federal Budget

$2,170 billion - Income
$3,820 billion - Federal Budget
$1,650 billion - New Debt

$38 billion – Amount Cut (about 1% of the total budget)


To make it even easier to understand, remove some zeros and pretend it is a monthly household budget.

Total income for family: $2,170
Amount spent this month: $3,820
Increase in credit card debt this month: $1,650

Balance on credit card: $14,271 (the family's debt)

So last night, the family sat down at the kitchen table and agreed to cut $38 from their monthly budget.


God help us all!!! Please!!
