<h3>Why S&amp;P downgraded​&#8230;</h3>
<ul>
<li>U.S. Tax Revenue: $2,170,000​,000,000</li>
<li>Federal Budget: $3,820,000​,000,000</li>
<li>New Debt: $1,650,000,​000,000</li>
<li>National Debt: $14,271,00​0,000,000</li>
<li>Recent Budget Cut: $38,500,000​,000</li>
</ul>
<h3>Let&#8217;s remove 8 zeros and pretend it&#8217;s a household budget&#8230;</h3>
<ul>
<li>Annual Family Income: $21,700</li>
<li>Money the Family Spent: $38,200</li>
<li>New Debt on the Credit Card: $16,500</li>
<li>Outstanding Balance on the Credit Card: $142,710</li>

</ul>
<p>This makes sense, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
