Right now (November 22, 2009) the Total Public Debt Outstanding is 12,011,787,382,266.61 http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=np
At this point, I doubt that the United States will ever be able to pay that debt back. Which means the United States will have to print money to pay those debts, which will lower the value of the United States Dollar across the World, which will turn the United States into a third world country, which will create a larger seperation between the Rich and the Poor. The seperation between RICH and POOR in the United States is ALMOST COMPLETE! The Democrats were RIGHT all along. The Republicans DO represent the RICH! And soon, Government Run Health Care will push our National Debt even HIGHER. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
