Ok, so the answer is none.
math is the answer.
US annual revenues haven’t changed much... hovering around $2.5 t*
(a quick google shows the revenue jumped to $3.0t for 2014... my back of the napkin was off a tad)
Our national debt has increased $8 t, from $10t to $18+t in just 6 years.
that’s $1.3 t avg debt increase per year, putting the spending about $3.8 t on average (it’s been $4t+ the last two years). this is $1.5t above revenue, or about 1.6x revenue.
translating that into relatable numbers...
$83k is 1.6x above $52k which results in $31k increased debt annually.
if tax revenue is yearly gross, then $3.0t is $52k and $18t national debt would be equivalent to $362k personal debt.
please, in the future, do your own homework. especially for things that are this simple.
“Ok, so the answer is none.”
So figuring things out for yourself doesn’t count. It has
to come from a “confident source” other than ones own
practical thought. Is that how you make all your decisions?
Is it time to mow the yard yet? I don’t know go find a
“confident source” and ask them. The grass is three feet
tall but we should still make sure.
