According to the debt clock (http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock) the debt is $9,054,750,628,053. According to this page trivia-library.com It is a piece of paper measuring 2 5/8" by 6 1/8" with a thickness of .0043". New notes will stack 233 to an inch, if not compressed. So $9,054,750,628,053/1000 * 0.0043 = 38,935,427.7 inches 38,935,427.7/12/5280 = 614.51 miles I think this is closer. :-)
