(Big drop before end of fourth quarter, which is fiscal year end, Sep 30: Wed.
Last 15 days of borrowing goes negative (meaning a lower public debt).
New fiscal year report adds histogram of yearly borrowing showing each president's, ahem, contribution to the debt. Old one will go away tomorrow.)

http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=npTHINKING IN BILLIONS: Think 3 or 4 dollars per billion in a 308-Million person America.
If every American, man, woman and child puts in $3.25 each THAT'S 1B$.
A family of three: Mom, Dad, Child: $9.75, ABOUT TEN BUCKS for a 1B$ 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 10 seconds we net gain a another American, so at the end of the workday of the report, there should be 307,535,901 people in America.
http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html ON 09/27/2009 07:13 -> 307,558,299 Currently, each of these Americans owe $38,274.16.
A family of three owes $114,822.49. (And that is IN ADDITION to their mortgage.)
ANALYSIS:
There were 22 reports in the last 30 to 31 days.
The average for the last
22 reports is
2,346,313,179.10.
The average for the last 30 days would be 1,720,629,664.68.
The average for the last 31 days would be 1,665,125,481.95.
There were 252 reports in 365 days of FY2007 averaging 1.99B$ 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$/day.
There were 170 reports in 247 days of Obama's part of FY2009 averaging 6.69B$ per report, 4.63B$/day so far.
There were 245 reports in 359 days of FY2009 averaging 7.13B$ per report, 4.86B$/day.
PROJECTION:
There are 1,214 days remaining in this Obama 1st term.
By that time the debt could be between 13.4 and 17.7T$.
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.)
