Literally anyone who reduces the USA federal budget down to household size should be derisively ignored unless they also replace “dollars” with “chore coupons” and place said household in a post apoctalyptic wasteland where there’s no government.
If a household cannot pay its bills their only choices are to earn more, spend less, or declare bankruptcy. The fed, in contrast, is constitutionally forbidden from declaring bankruptcy and instead can (and does) just create money from nothing on demand.
(Not to mention that most households can’t unilaterally say “pay me 10% of the coupon value when you bring lunch home.”.)
