Washington tells us our national debt is $11.5 trillion. Washington says our population is 304 million people. What does this mean?

It means that in order for us to get our country out of debt that every man, woman and child has to cough up $40,000. These numbers are before they spend another $4 to $5 trillion on national health care.

A child born today already owes $40,000 - that is wrong! People we need to join together and take back our country from Washington.
