THE REAL DEBT IS STAGGERING

HOW BIG IS AMERICA'S DEBT HOLE?

The site presents a more realistic picture of the financial trouble the United States is in if we don’t bring spending back under control rapidly. “The estimated deterioration in the true national debt is based upon historical trends.” - TIN

The Fed would like us to believe the debt is only $31,459,270,694,014 (~$240,000 per American) but the reality is much worse.

Future unfunded liabilities and the acceleration of spending suggest the real cost to each American is closer to ~$940,000.
