Each and everyone one of you, well if your from the US. Here's a thought maybe we could get people from other countries to pay it for us. What do you think? Hmmmm.

In 2005 the national debt was some 60% of the national income (http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com/2005/12/picturing-us-national-debt-to-income.html). Let's say it's 80% now. That makes for an income of 50.000 times 4 = 200.000 USD for the Joe average family (Joe, Mary and 2 kids). Not bad! 4% interest on 160.000 debt = USD 6500. That leaves Joe and his family with USD 194.500. Not bad either.
Or am I making some elementary economic mistake?

I'm sure you also forgot ?We are committed to paygo,? Pelosi said at a lunch with reporters. ?I would like to make it the law of the land.?

Their lips are moving.
The fallacy is to believe that some of them don't...

I'm still trying to figure out the math for the income of "the Joe average family". The post that mentioned that seems to try to express family income as a fraction of GDP. I wish my income was one 300 millionth of the GDP.

If I were to move to one, maybe the U.N. would say that I had a "right" to it (grin).
