Seventeen trillion, eight hundred ninety-nine billion, three hundred sixteen million, eighty-four thousand five hundred fifty-three dollars and thirty-seven cents.

As of today, our national debt is $17,899,316,084,553.37.

Roughly $145,522 for every maker in the US. That's right. Not only do you lucky 123 million Americans have to support the other  124 million American adults that are not producing anything, (and the 70 million children), you also have to pay interest only payments on this very large loan you don't get to spend!

Yay for big government!

  1. How long do you think it'll be before Americans leaving will be told to pay off 'their share' before they're allowed to leave?
    People could go to countries with far less debt.

    1. There's already an exit tax, my friend. http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/Expatriation-Tax

      When we see them change the floor on the income requirements for that, we'll know we live behind an iron curtain.
