What are you worth?

Once the "stimulus (read giving more money to failing businessmen who buy private planes and go on $400,000 retreats) package passes our national deficit will hit 11 Trillion Dollars!!! Which, if you break it down over the roughly 300 million Americans equals approximately $40,000 for every man, woman and child. I have a family of 3, that means I am on the hook for $120,000. Isn't that the price for an entry level home these days? Awesome. Good job government. Thanks so much.

Unemployment is up to approximately 7.6%, something like 598,000 jobs lost last month (No, Nancy Pelosi, not 500 million jobs lost each month - are we all working 2 jobs now?). Good news is more Americans are changing their spending habits - saving more, using coupons, incurring less debt, not speculating on rising home values (there's a big one). Now if only we could get the boys in Washington to do that. What am I talking about, of course they have our interests at heart.

Seriously though, could I just get the 120K I am on the hook for?
