A few days ago I heard a radio pontificator proclaim that if you spent a million dollars a day since the birth of Christ you will NOT have spent a trillion dollars by today. So I did the math:

    365.25days x 2010 years (I'm generous)=734,153 days (I rounded the 1/2 day up).

    734153/$1,000,000,000,000.00= $1,362,113.89 a day! That is a lot of money.

What is the debt on every legal citizen in the US? Who knows? I don't really have an idea how many LEGAL citizens there are but for argument's sake let's go with the easy 300 million figure that is always being tossed about:

    300,000,000/ 1,000,000,000,000.00=$333.33 each. Well it doesn't seem so bad when you look at it that way but what about the already existent national debt? In 2006 it was over 7 trillion ( I can't find my current World Almanac right now and I'm too lazy to Google it) and if I remember right it is currently around 9 trillion. If we add the "stimulation package" which Congress just approved it's closer to 10 trillion dollars so that comes to about $3,333.33 for every man, woman and child in the US of A. And this doesn't even take into consideration the cost of debt management and intrest maintence. Are you feeling stimulated? I know I am! Pardon me while I go take a dump.
