Digging our way to China...

You will not find it in your credit report.
You will probably not get a reminder in the mail.
But, you owe $30,751.

That is each citizen's share of the Outstanding Public Debt.

$9,346,419,103,203.92 divided by the estimated population of 303,932,643.

Please inform your Republican friends that during the last seven and half years this bill has increased by $11,470.  

Bush dug that hole another 3.7 trillion dollars deeper.  Ask them if they want McCain to pickup the shovel.  If they do suggest they learn Chinese because you really can dig your way to China.
