Numbers

 

I don't know what your current net worth is, but please subtract $180,000 from it.

Want to know where I got that number?

Our current national debt is over $11 trillion. If you add our current obligations and proposed obligations of health care, social security, Medicaid, and so on...

$55 trillion. That's a figure from the government. Got that?

Now divide that by 300 million Americans.

That's a personal debt of $183,333.00 per person. Man, woman, and child.

Do you think baby boomers will pay that? Nope. Children will pay that when they grow up and become working adults. The debt will be passed on to them.

Do you love children?
