What?

Sobering stats: this year the federal government will:

spend $30,958 per household
tax $17,576 per household
borrow $13,392 per household

Federal spending, in particular, will be
increased by 22%
account for 26% of the gross domestic product (GDP)
By 2019, we'll be spending almost $800 billion just to pay net interest on our debt.
