You are thinking budget deficit.
EvilTree was correct, the US National debt is well over 4 Trillion dollars. In fact it is at a whopping $7,087,086,937,116.83 As of 5:30 central time today.
That is $24,156.83 cents for every man woman and child in the country.
It has also increased $2.06 Billion a day since Sept 30, 2003 on average. When Clinton was in office (like him or hate him) the national debt was actually decreasing and they had turned off the famous debt clock built during the Reagan era. Funny how republicans are supposed to be the fiscal conservatives yet they seem to always be the ones in power when the debt skyrockets.
