United States of America

The Outstanding Public Debt as of 18 Aug 2008 at 10:34:00 AM GMT is:

$9,599,769,454,478.11

The estimated population of the United States is 304,563,147
so each citizen's share of this debt is $31,519.80.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.82 billion per day since September 28, 2007!

Is this for real??

Have a look at Peter Schiff. In November 2006, he predicted the problems connected to the US economy. Find out more here:

It's an eye opener for sure. It's in eight parts, but it's definitely worth watching.
