The estimated population of the United States is 304,286,400 so each citizen's share of this debt is $31,121.78.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $1.66 billion per day since September 28, 2007!
You have dug a nice hole for yourself. :) |
That's why we also have the largest military in the world... try and make us pay it back.
The National debt should be stopped, but at the same time... so long as the US has one of the biggest economies in the world it can have one of the biggest debts in the world.
Finland's national debt is
32.9 percent of your GDC.
Americas is 37%.
Not a much bigger hole then the one Finland has dug for you guys it seems... and you pay more taxes.
While a big number... because America has a lot of people that make good money.... we actually have a lower national debt proportionally then Canada, UK, Italy, France and Germany.
