Reply #15: Debt: 08/03/2009 11,648,548,144,569.76 (DOWN 20,703,204,934.89) (Down 5B.)

[Festivito]

(Debt down 5, good; FICA down 15, not so good -- it's how much government owes us, the working people, someday when we retire.)

= Held by the Public + Intragovernmental(FICA)
= 7,330,489,761,535.11 + 4,318,058,383,034.65
DOWN 5,083,538,887.00 + DOWN 15,619,666,047.89

THINKING IN BILLIONS: Think 3 or 4 dollars per billion in a 307-Million person America.
If every American, man, woman and child puts in $3.26 each THAT'S 1B$.
A family of three: Mom, Dad, Child: $9.77, ABOUT TEN BUCKS for a 1B$ 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 the 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)

PERSONALIZED DEBT:
Every 12 seconds we net gain a another American, so at the end of the workday of the report, there should be 307,012,742 people in America.
http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html ON 05/25/2009 01:14 -> 306,504,012
Currently, each of these Americans owe $37,941.58.
A family of three owes $113,824.74. (And that is IN ADDITION to their mortgage.)

ANALYSIS:
There were 22 reports in the last 30 to 31 days.
The average for the last 22 reports is 7,161,821,576.54.
The average for the last 30 days would be 5,252,002,489.46.
The average for the last 31 days would be 5,082,583,054.32.
There were 252 reports in 365 days of FY2007 averaging 1.99B$ per report, 1.37B$/day.
There were 253 reports in 366 days of FY2008 averaging 4.02B$ per report, 2.78B$/day.
There were 75 reports in 112 days of GWB's part of FY2009 averaging 8.03B$ per report, 5.38B$/day.
There were 134 reports in 195 days of Obama's part of FY2009 averaging -0.26B$ per report, -0.09B$/day so far.
There were 209 reports in 307 days of FY2009 averaging 7.77B$ per report, 5.29B$/day.

PROJECTION:
There are 1,266 days remaining in this Obama 1st term.
By that time the debt could be between 13.4 and 18.3T$.
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.)

149,841,942,897.15 Total of 15 above reports.

Heavy borrowing seems to start after 09/18/2008.
US borrowed $1,983,916,341,310.69 in last 319 days.
That's 1,984B$ in 319 days.
More than any year ever, including last year, and it's 195% of that highest year ever only in 319 days.
And it is over 100% of ANY dismal Bush, for any dismal Bush-year, ONLY IN 319 DAYS NOT 365.
