Is this a joke? If a family had to borrow $0.46 of every dollar it spent to make it’s budget, as is the condition of Obama’s current federal budget, would there even be a question about whether or not that family is broke?

Combine the budget situation with the Fed buying our own Treasury bills, and there can be no doubt - the US is hopelessly insolvent. They can’t continue like this for long before the whole thing implodes.

How long could you go on spending $1000 a month if you only make $540 a month?

One big difference --- the family cannot "create" money. Uncle Sam can. As long as the world "believes" in the paper that Uncle Sam creates, this illusion can last for some time. How long, nobody knows.
