Private Debt 2012 (10): Owed on a U.S. Earn


Federal and other debt as shares of total debt:

Federal (blue) and Non-Federal (red) debt as shares of total debt (thru 1985)

So always remember and never forget
The problem lies not with the Federal debt,
But everyone else's debt hinders us all
And leaves us like Humpty was after the fall.

  1. Republican Elephants, Democrat Mules
    Surveyed the wreckage and gathered their tools.
    They found a solution in politic praxis
    By lowering that poor egg's payrollish taxes.

  2. Agreement in principle, wonderous thing,
    turned out to be rather exasperaing.
    For big-ender lil-ender troubles awoke
    a dispute over which end of Humpty was broke!

The spam filter's been acting up again lately. I'm aware, and checking it often.
Oh, what fun they must have with this at Blogger!
