A family of four owes over $100K!
Who do we owe all this money to?
Let's see... holders of U.S. Treasury bonds... including the Chinese, the Saudis, the Social Security Trust fund...
Plus, like any mortgage, we have to pay interest on all this debt... every year...
Who's going to have to pay off all this debt?
