What's another $7 trillion in debt when you've already borrowed $3 trillion? As long as your buddies get richer, it's all good.

As of March 2008, the total U.S. federal debt was approximately $9.4 trillion, about $79,000 in average for each American taxpayer. Of this amount, debt held by the public was roughly $5.3 trillion. If, in addition, unfunded Medicaid, Social Security, etc. promises are added, this figure rises to a total of $59.1 trillion. In 2007 the public debt was 36.8 percent of GDP ranking 65th in the world.
