I hate it when you cannot tell how much something actually costs or how far in debt you are.  I was trying to figure out my debt load today, but kept getting differing information.

Fox News claim I owe almost $38,000 for my share of the National Debt.  USWA claims that it is more than $38,000.   It would be nice to know the real numbers.  (The two are off by almost $200 Billion on the national debt).   Oh well, it is not like I will be paying it off my share - or the ~$38,000 my wife owes - or the ~$190,000 my kids owe - any time soon.  No, I'll just leave the mess for my yet unborn grandchildren to clean up.
