and indirect financial obligations in the form of Wall Street
bailouts, emergency lending and government guarantees on bank
deposits, inter-bank loans and home mortgages. ...

U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK

The Outstanding Public Debt as of 26 Nov 2008 at 02:42:06 AM GMT is:
$10,658,914,704,392.65

The estimated population of the United States is 305,161,918
so each citizen's share of this debt is $34,928.72.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$3.89 billion per day since September 28, 2007!
Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!

From $700 billion to $7 trillion in a blink of an eye.

... Look who is doing creative accounting now!

Hmm, something doesn't add up.
