If I had a credit limit of $142,710 I would max it out and start sending them $10 a month
and explain how unlucky I was while on vacation in Los Vegas.
What would you do?

This is the USA citizens' dilemma.
Our representative form of government has gone awry with those representing only themselves. Are there any investigative reporters in our vast army of journalists?
Leaders, where art thou?
Remember the cliché' admonitions: KISMIF ? "Keep It Simple, Make It Fun"!

Budget Cut in Perspective
U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
• Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
• New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
• National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
• Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000
...
Let's remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget:
Annual family income: $21,700
• Money the family spent: $38,200
• New debt on the credit card: $16,500
• Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
• Total budget cuts: $385
