They're not too far off, maddog. Current debt is over 7 trillion. Watch the news for the next time China or South Korea states they will quit buying US T-bills. All the brokers of Wall Street immediately start climbing out on the balcony and preparing to jump to their doom. Calls from the White House to Beijing spike 100 fold. We are captive to our creditors.

Course, what does it matter? It's all just numbers anyway. If it gets really outta hand, we'll start another war to kick-start the economy -- it's a tried and true method of economic recovery for over 100 years.
