I'm confused too
It should read per person. We only have 300 million people in this country (including the illegals) so dividing 900 Billion up between them results in $3K per person. Not household. Stupid reporters. They can't even say the correct number right - how do they even come up with $2.2k? 900 bill / 300 mill = 3K.
