And that's w/ interest rates near zero. That number is going to skyrocket when interest rates go back up.
Eventually, I hope, people will realize that the idea of government "paying it's bills" by going further into debt is fricking retarded.

Isnt it funny how us peons fret over a hundred dollars here and there(at least I do) but the US govt treats money like toilet paper?

It's hard to imagine if the Federal Reserve lose control of ZIRP. I suppose under that scenario the tax revenue into the US Treasury would be sufficiently robust.

We could randomly make 415,688 people millionaires!

America is like the man who uses one credit card to pay off another.

OP - Eurocat just posted a chart from 2011 (see thread beginning "60% of Americans have less) with total fed spending at $3.64 trillion, with debt $247 billion (7% of spending).
Do you have a chart? What is the new % of spending?
