Agreed. I think it was Boehner who compared the US debt situation to a household. These comparisons are like comparing a 747 to a Hotwheels car, and not just useless in most cases but damaging in the sense they cloud the more complex bigger picture.

Stick with the car theme. Maybe the government is a stretched Hummer that needs a year's worth of income to get it out of the shop. OK, maybe Halliburton will accept half a year's income to fix it.
