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 11 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.)

-128,330,886,944.72 Total of 15 above reports.
Heavy borrowing seems to start after 09/18/2008.
US borrowed $945,126,764,348.10 in last 113 days.
That's 945B$ in 113 days.
More than any year ever, except last year, and it's 93% of that highest year ever only in 113 days.
And it is over 100% of ANY dismal Bush, for any dismal Bush-year, ONLY IN 113 DAYS NOT 365.
