The Outstanding Public Debt as of 07 Aug 2004 at 01:47:24 PM GMT is:
$ 7 , 3 2 4 , 0 1 0 , 6 8 4 , 9 6 2 . 8 7
The estimated population of the United States is 293,895,518
so each citizen's share of this debt is $24,920.46.
Three days have passed by since the last time I posted the figures:
Debt up by approx. -- $15.1 billion.
Population up approx. -- 18,920 (btw, that alone seems scary).
Each citizen's share of debt up -- $15.87 (or approx. 5.29 per day).
Family of four's share of debt up -- $63.48 (or approx. 21.16 per day).
(musing: How much or many groceries, prescription medications, electricity, gas for commuting to work, fuel to heat house, etc.. could $63.48 buy in 3 days?) |
