  25. The story of The Fed Family

  26. Judy Johnny Sally Joe and Max!

  27. THE SITUATION • Joe has a good job and plans to retire in 5 years. • Judy stays home with the children. • Johnnyand Sallyattend private school. • Grandma had a stroke last year and is in a coma.

  28. Joe has a nice income of $129,000 per year. However, the Fed Family is living beyond their means. • 2010 Gross Domestic Product They have no cash and had to add over $12,000 to their credit card debt • The Fed Family share of the 2010 deficit

  29. They have $79,473 in credit card debt • Fed Family share of publicly held debt In order to make ends meet, Joe borrowed all the money from Grandma’s trust account: $40,149 • Fed Family share of amount “borrowed” from Social Security trust fund

  30. Grandma’s estimated care at the Park Avenue Nursing Home over the next several years is: $200,000 • Fed Family share of obligation to Social Security and Medicare But Joe doesn’t think he’s signed a contract, so he isn’t worried…. • Some say this estimated obligation is not a liability…

  31. ... so the Fed Family got together and had a family meeting

  32. Why do we have to pay for Grandma? The latest plan to privatize Medicare. Or is it?

Unfortunately Joe’sbank is now a subsidiary of the Bank of China and won’t extend more credit until the Fed Family gets its act together! As of May 2011, China holds 36 percent of all foreign-owned Treasury Securities (16 percent of total public debt)

  35. No, we all need to chip in to get out of the mess your father got us into!
