Doug R. - Did you click the link provided by Peace?

"The Federal government's gross debt - the accumulation of its annual deficits - was about $7 trillion last September [2003], which works out to about $24,000 for every man, woman and child in the country. But that number excludes items like the gap between the government's Social Security and Medicare commitments and the money put aside to pay for them. If these items are factored in, the burden for every American rises to well over $100,000."

- David M. Walker,
Comptroller General of the United States.

I wish I could add $100,000.000 to my personal debt without flinching. You must be a very wealthy man.
