Quote:Agreed. What we should be irritated about is that the workers will pay over a billion dollars a day just on servicing the National Debt.Divided among a labour force of about 155 million people, that's what, $6.50 a day each? Not cheap, but hardly backbreaking. It would be nice to pay it down, but "a billion dollars a day" sounds a lot scarier than it actually is.

Edited for slightly more accurate numbers.
Afterthought: To take the callous edge off, this is not accounting for any progressivity in the tax system. Most people for whom an extra six fifty a day would be rather important aren't paying anywhere near six fifty in taxes servicing the debt.
