Reply #4: $35,000 / person

[FreeJoe]

Did I get the math right? $400 billion spread over 11.3 million people works out to about $35,000 per person. The debt clock shows the US as owing $46,000 per person. I'm sure that are difference in the numbers used (public debt vs total debt or something like that), but it doesn't look like the Greek debt is that much higher than the US debt. Then again, it looks like GDP per person is almost double in the US, so I guess we our debt is still more affordable...at least for now.
