tigertoyI just hit an article on Yahoo news on the total federal debt.
Total public debt outstanding Aug. 31 (millions): 7,350,950.
7.35 trillion dollars.
Approximately 25000 dollars for every citizen in the country.
Approximately 7 million times all the money I can expect to earn in the rest of my life.
Wake up and smell the catastrophe, America!
