"If the US Government was a family-they would be making $58,000 a year,
spending $75,000 a year, & 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 &
debt, reduced to a level that we can understand." -Dave Ramsey

You pass a bill to spend $500 Billion to cover the moon with cottage cheese...the next day you resend that bill and say you've cut spending by $500 billion
