Really? Your check's in the mail??

The National Debt is $ 9,506,695,031,863.27
The estimated population of the United States is 304,374,737
so each citizen's share of this debt is $31,233.52.

That is $31,233 for every American alive - new born, almost dead, brain dead, mentally or physically challenged, ACLU member or just 'doesn't want to work'.


Now that $31k is just the tip. If you add in the off-the-books unfunded obligations, your piece grows to something North of $204,000.
