If each US citizen was required to take full responsibility for the financial mismanagement of our former elected leadership, each American would owe approximately:
$36.2 trillion (US Dept 2025) / 346 million (current US population)
EQUALS
ONE MILLION DOLLARS EACH!!!
What!? My math must be wrong! Ugh, I do believe in fact that it may just be ONLY About $100,000 each. Only. That's still more than the average American Can afford, I do believe. I certainly don't have that kind of clout Or spare change lying around and about.

Actually, I just redid the math over and over, and I think I'm wrong. I'm going to add more to this poem in a sec. . .
