A number such as $11 trillion is meaningless to people. It is better to express it as debt per American, which comes out to about $37,000 per person assuming about 300 million Americans.

Time is money, right? If you make one dollar every second, you will have a million dollars in twelve days. You will be a billionaire in 32 years, but it will take you more than 31,000 years to make a trillion dollars.
