Fair share

U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK
The Outstanding Public Debt as of 12 Jun 2009 at 05:53:37 PM GMT is:




The estimated population of the United States is 306,355,187
so each citizen's share of this debt is $37,182.29.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$3.83 billion per day since September 28, 2007!
Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!

How would it feel to each citizen of this country if they and each of their children were presented with a bill for $37, 182.29? If everyone in their family took out a credit card and maxed it out to the tune of $37 large plus. Family of four? You just added another house payment. For 30 years.

I believe people want to do their share, and when they see what their share really is, there should be a great deal of discomfort over where this country is going.
