Each American's share of national debt $35,612.23

From Examiner.com

If you are among the 305,730,388 American citizens, your share of the national debt is $35,612.33 as of February 28, 2009.

The debt itself amounts to $10,88,770,017,536.32. That is close to 11 trillion dollars. However with the new spending going on in Washington, it will soon approach 13 trillion dollars.

If those figures are too staggering to comprehend, here is another way of looking at it.

If you spent $1 every second, you'd have to keep spending for 412,000 years to get to $13 trillion. That means you'd have to start shortly after the time human beings first started using stone tools and fire to get to $13 trillion today.

$13 trillion in one dollar bills weights 28 million pounds. That's as much as 87 blue whales or 462 Statues of Liberty.

If you laid 13 trillion one-dollar bills end-to-end they'd reach from the earth to the sun and back...five times over. That translates into 946 miles of greenbacks.

The interest on the current $10.7 trillion debt cost Americans $451.1 billion last year alone.

That is $1478 dollars in interest for every man, woman and children in the United States.
