Yep. As Brian Williams said.

>> $10,429 [more] Per Person in U.S.

>> $44,886.57 total debt per person.

It’s much worse than that since only a small percentage of the population will bear that cost. Even if every family shared the tax burden equally with 4 members each, the additional debt would be $42k, the total $180k.

I estimated last year it was somewhere around $165k per family. I was wrong.

This is equivalent to paying for another family’s mortgage besides your own.

If they would leave me alone for the rest of my life, I would write a check for 62,574 for my wife and four children today. What are the chances of them leaving me alone after that????? None of course.

The majority of people can’t see the problem with the debt because, as far as they’re concerned, they won’t be billed for the debt. Somebody else will.

Headlines like this make me so glad that our Republican party establishment picked the guy who doubled the size of my county's sheriff's department in 10 years over the TEA party guy who really knows (and cares about) the Constitution and has some experience with frugal living (having been unemployed before running in the primary, and living on a very small salary from his campaign during the primary).

We really need Republican Congress critters with experience growing government to represent us in the Congress.

My prediction, the 112th Congress will add even more debt than the 111th. This will continue until the debt crisis causes a complete breakdown of our government. We may well be past the point of no return now.

Well healthcare and tax hikes should take a big bite out of the debt and put us solidly on the road to recovery.

That’s change that I don’t believe in.

They'd put us in the ovens if it was an option. Instead, they just settled for gifting us generational bankruptcy.
