$16 Trillion is really a lot!


Our national debt is just a little over $16 trillion.  This might put it into perspective...

If people made $35,000 per year and they gave all of their income (100% of it) to the U.S. government to pay off the debt, how many people would have to work for one year to accomplish that?


Answer... 457,142,857 people.
