This is a very enlightening exercise. It makes the deficit problem much more real in two very different ways: on the one hand, by pointing out the magnitude and the [likely] unsustainability of the present situation; on the other hand, by making us wonder which of our family members we should shaft and in what ways.
What's the single most common cause of personal bankrupcy in the US these days?
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Like pretty much any graphic dealing with this situation, it gets plenty of things wrong. First off, government debt is hardly comparable to credit card debt; more like mortgage debt, but even lower interest. So a family with a $150k mortgage is hardly that crazy.
Furthermore, it assumes that current deficits are anything like the long-run average, which they are not. Cyclical adjustments are far larger in gov't budgets than in family budgets, with good reason.
That being said, obviously to crow about a few billion in savings here or there isn't a good idea, though actual economies are worthwhile regardless of the magnitude.
Agreed on all counts
IS THIS TRUE??!

In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Which is good, since it's simply wrong.NOTE: This image is just for the LOLs, which is the intention of this thread
I wonder if that could be, oh, clever meta-commentary? Nooooooo
Nooooooooo
Pictures can't be funny
Pictures are political
There is right, and there is wrong
Why do you hate fun, Wraith

I'm just tired of seeing BS propaganda posted under the guise of 'fun'.
Why the hell do so many people find their own side's propaganda 'funny' anyways? Even assuming the posters didn't realize how disingenuous and/or completely false some of the stuff that gets posted is, how is it funny? Is it just "look, somebody on the internet hates the same people I hate, lolololol!"?
Look you're not playing this towards my angle at all, so I hereby conclude you just hate fun. I hope you're happy! Now post some pictures

kinda freaky that one

I still don't understand the head-shaking, I see it without shaking my head and don't see any difference when I do
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I could only see the lines when I first saw it. I can see it without shaking my head now. Monitors might have something to do with it; I see it much easier at home than I do here at work.

I'm taking the above cheat sheet to my next meeting.
Brevior saltare cum deformibus viris est vita
My supervisiors say I have annoying talent for vocally translating stuff like that during meetings. I've frustrated my immediate super so bad that she doesn't even try anymore.
Its refreshing.
