Every weekday the U.S. Treasury releases its calculation of the total public debt to the
penny.
Many people have trouble conceiving
just how much money a trillion dollars is. While there are hundreds
of billionaires, even the richest amongst them only has assets
equaling about 4 or 5% of a trillion dollars.
The 2007 census estimates that the
current population of the United States is 305,237,776. A trillion
dollars is approximately $3,279.43 for every man, woman, and child
in our country. The current debt per capita therefore exceeds
$32,000. If you have a family of four; your families share is
$128,000.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$3.24 billion per day since September 28, 2007.
