Perspective on National Debt

Our debt is currently about 11 trillion dollars ($11,000,000,000,000). To put that into perspective, if you had started a business at Christ's birth - in the year 0 - and lost a million dollars a day, you could keep that up for another 700 years to equal 1 trillion in debt. Remember, we're 11 trillion dollars in debt.
