Did you know your household owes $546668?

According to USA Today, if we divide the national debt up.. it is a burden of $546,668 per household. Can you wrap your mind around that???

When we hear numbers in the trillions, it almost doesn't mean anything. But.. this?? This is something we can understand... how much does your family owe for your mortgage? plus car and other debt? I am fairly sure it is significantly less than your share of the national debt. And for that you have a house and car and all the things you own. And we work hard to pay that debt off. No one will let you off on that debt. You can't just say your kids will pay the debt in 50 years. But our government is doing that. They are spending without any sign of taking responsibility for the debt. And I don't know about YOU but I do not feel as though our family is getting anywhere near the value of this debt from the government. This year the new spending will add another $55,000 to our share of the debt. I know I am not getting that out of our government. Sigh.

Will you stand up? Be heard? Write or call your Congressman and demand that they be responsible with the budget.
