About the same as it will be after Santorum/Romney/Paul/Gingrich's first term.

I'm guessing 22 trillion (16 trillion + 1.5 trillion more per year of a second term). It's all funny money anyway, none of it will ever be paid back. Maturing bonds will just be replaced by new bonds and we'll continue to borrow more and more to pay the interest on a larger and larger amount of debt until it all implodes.

Divide 22 trillion by the number of working adults in the US for a nice /laugh.

I agree that it will be more than $20 Trillion regardless of who wins.

If this is your opinion, you are essentially the average American. Used to be a time that was a good thing. Today, well... I'm not sure that is where you want to be.

It will be a really big number. If interest rates are low, the cost will be minimal. If interest rates are high, that means the economy is booming. Either way, it doesnt reall matter.


The thing that matters is what we are spending money on and are we doing it efficiently. Worrying solely about dollar numbers is for dummies.
