"If the US was a family, they would be making $58K /yr, but they spend $75K/yr and have $327K in credit card debt -

Something everyone can understand without stressing the brain :

 "If the US Government was a family, they would be making $58,000 a year,
but they spend $75,000 a year and have $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 & debt, reduced to an
understandable level."
