The cost: $175,000 per person


That's the cost of our national debt. To pay it off today, every man, woman and child in the US owes $175,000. Back in the 1920's depression, my grandparents stuggled like most. Grandpa's job was cut to half-time, and he confronted staggering medical bills for a son who subsequently died of a brain tumor. If they were with us today and saw the numbers being tossed out by the press, they would cry out,"Jesus, Mary and Jospeph!"
