How big is the U.S. Debt?

[Feuer Frei!]

May be slightly outdated but:




Instead of listening to the warnings of our founding fathers, now we are in debt hell....
#1 The Obama administration is now projecting that the federal budget deficit for this year will be an all-time record $1.645 trillion dollars.
#2 The budget deficit for this year alone will end up being well over 10 percent of GDP. That is an absolutely nightmarish level.
#3 Currently, the accumulated national debt of the U.S. government has reached a grand total of $14,123,589,307,190.53.
#4 If you divided the national debt up equally among all U.S. households, each one would owe a staggering $125,475.18.
#5 The federal government has borrowed 29,660 more dollars per household since Barack Obama signed the economic stimulus law two years ago.
#6 During Barack Obama's first two years in office, the U.S. government added more to the U.S. national debt than the first 100 U.S. Congresses combined.
#7 In the new budget that the Obama administration has proposed, the U.S. government would spend 3.7 trillion dollars in 2012 and by 2021 the U.S. government would be spending a whopping 5.6 trillion dollars per year.
#8 The U.S. government currently has to borrow approximately 41 cents of every single dollar that it spends.
#9 The total compensation that the federal government workforce earned last year came to a grand total of approximately 447 billion dollars.
#10 The U.S. national debt is currently rising by well over 4 billion dollars every single day.
#11 The U.S. government is borrowing over 2 million more dollars every single minute.
#12 The U.S. national debt is over 14 times larger than it was just 30 years ago.
#13 Unfunded liabilities for entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare are estimated to be well over $100 trillion, and nobody in the U.S. government seems to have any idea how we are actually even going to come close to meeting all of those obligations.
#14 If you were alive when Christ was born and you spent one million dollars every single day since that point, you still would not have spent one trillion dollars by now.
#15 If the federal government began right at this moment to repay the U.S. national debt at a rate of one dollar per second, it would take over 440,000 years to pay off the national debt.
