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.
