Including illegals, your share goes down from $37,000 to $30,000.
future entitlements and stuff
According to the national debt clock we are at 11.3 trillion but that makes no sense since we were at 10 trillion in October of 08.
He is probably including future obligations, which I don’t think should be done or it should be stated as such. We can read the future but we know much of this simply cannot happen. We will collapse way before we ever hit $100 trillion.

There are many, unpalatable solutions to this problem. Unfortunately, the sooner we take our bitter medicine, the less we will have to take. I can see the future where only poor people are able to collect SS, and the age of retirement being indexed to the life expectancy ages.

We need to make our politicians deal with this future crisis, or it will be unmanageable in the future.
