Interesting. It had actually dropped to $7.219 trillion a week ago. Any thoughts on the jump, maybe the end of the second quarter? ufb! (have you been trying to do your share to procreate and create a pool to reduce this debt? ;) No luck here but it's fun trying -gg-

$ 7 , 2 5 5 , 0 4 6 , 0 0 3 , 4 6 4 . 1 8 The Outstanding Public Debt as of 06 Jul 2004 at 08:56:59 PM GMT is: $ 7 , 2 5 5 , 0 4 6 , 0 0 3 , 4 6 4 . 1 8 The estimated population of the United States is 294,494,548 so each citizen's share of this debt is $24,635.59. *** Check this out. Yesterday, each citizen's share of the debt was $24,630.38, and today it's at $24,635.59. Increase of $5.21 in just a little over 24 hours. Rather scary to see how this is compounding. What's that.. the price of an average lunch at a diner? Not nice.
