How much will taxpayers shoulder?

[Taem]

Actually he's off by 3 zeros.

he did

$7,000,000,000,000 <----------- (which is correctly $7 trillion)
--------------------------- = ~$45
153,100,000,000 <--------------- (which is an erroneous 153 billion people)
it should be

$7,000,000,000,000
--------------------------- = $45,721
153,100,000
And considering $50,233.00 was the median HOUSEHOLD income in the US in 2007 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_inc..._United_States) I'd say that is a hell of a lot to tack on to someones taxes at the end of the year. It's nearly the average income of the american family.

That's what I get for using the calculator at work which adds zeros at the end.
