http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=npTHINKING IN BILLIONS: 3 or 4 dollars per billion in a 300-Million person America.
If every American, man, woman and child puts in $3.33 each THAT'S 1B$.
A family of three: Mom, Dad, Child: THEIR SHARE IS TEN BUCKS in a 1B$ federal program.
I hope that is clear. However, I'd suggest using $3 per 1B$ to underestimate it.
Use $4 per 1B$ to overestimate the cost when thinking: Is a federal program worth it?
Aid to Dependant Children: 2B$/yr =$8/yr(a movie a year) Family of 3: $24/yr(an hour of bowling)
(I hate those end to end dollars to the moon and back, or years to spend $100/second. Just say'n)
If you read this and have a suggestion or comment, good or bad, I'd love to see it.

PROJECTION:
GWB** must relinquish the presidency in 18 days.
By that time the debt could be between 10.6 and 10.7T$.
It could be higher. It could be lower.
HISTORICAL:
President's term begins and ends on Jan 20.
(Guess who might want to hide the Reagan Bush years. Jan 20 data is missing before 1993.)

Heavy borrowing seems to start after 09/18/2008.
US borrowed $963,329,492,671.60 in last 106 days.
That's 963B$ in 106 days.
More than any year ever, except last year, and it's 95% of that highest year ever only in 106 days.
And it is over 100% of ANY dismal Bush, for any dismal Bush-year, ONLY IN 106 DAYS NOT 365.
