"Last figure I saw was $7.8 Trillion."
That is the "official" debt.
That doesn't include the IOU's in the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid...etc.
Remember Clinton always spouting off about how when he was President he had huge surpluses and the national debt was shrinking?
Lies. He was funding the system using IOU's and sucking the money from Social Security.

Your right the 7.8 is just about right. Amen.
