The
US government’s debt is getting close to reaching another round number -
$18 trillion. It currently stands at more than $17.9 trillion. But what
does that really mean? The Social Security Administration just released
data for the average yearly salary in the US in fiscal year that just
ended. It stands at $44,888.16. The current debt level of over
$17.9 trillion would thus take more than 398 million years of working at
the average wage to pay off. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-22/it-will-take-398879561-years-pay-us-governments-debt
