Nation needs honest figures on federal debt« Thread Started on Jun 16, 2007, 11:56pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Nation needs honest figures on federal debtThe average American household owes $112,043 for mortgages, car loans, credit cards and other debts.Does that sound like a lot of money?read at source> http://www.thetimesherald.com/apps/pbcs ... PINIONWell, it's peanuts compared to the same household's share of the national debt. Last week, USA Todayreported American taxpayers are "now on the hook for a record $59.1 trillion in liabilities ... equal to $516,348 for every U.S. household." Whoa.Let's repeat that: $516,348, or a bit more than a half-million dollars per family. Put another away, paying off the national debt would require the average family to chip in $31,000 per year for the next 75 years.
