Reply #6: .6 of the 1.6 belongs to Bush before BHO took over.

[Festivito]

Bush also added and additional .36 (T$) in 12 days before that. Picking up the pieces after Bush left us with a mess has not been as costly under Obama as the press would lead us to believe.

For links, I repost my STOCK MARKET WATCH report with some changes I made today:
If you like you can go to the Debt to the Penny and check the amounts yourself for the dates you want to see. MS calculator takes copy and paste with commas directly from the web pages. Good luck. And if you find any mistakes, please post them for all to read. I can take the hits.

Link at bottom takes you to prior reports.

Debt: 08/21/2009 11,719,258,192,538.99 (DOWN 1,570,362,841.17) (Up 1/3B$, FICA down 1.9B$.)
(Debt up one third of a billion, while the FICA side goes down a tenth less than two billion.)

= Held by the Public + Intragovernmental(FICA)
= 7,385,460,451,439.75 + 4,333,797,741,099.24
UP 333,547,281.04 + DOWN 1,903,910,122.21

THINKING IN BILLIONS: Think 3 or 4 dollars per billion in a 307-Million person America.
If every American, man, woman and child puts in $3.25 each THAT'S 1B$.
A family of three: Mom, Dad, Child: $9.76, ABOUT TEN BUCKS for a 1B$ federal program.
I hope that is clear. However, I'd suggest using $3 per 1B$ to underestimate it.
Use $4 per 1B$ to overestimate the cost when thinking: Is the federal program worth it?
Aid to Dependant Children: 2B$/yr =$8/yr(a movie a year) Family of 3: $24/yr(an hour of bowling)

PERSONALIZED DEBT:
Every 10 seconds we net gain a another American, so at the end of the workday of the report, there should be 307,236,981 people in America.
http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html ON 08/24/2009 13:24 -> 307,261,605
Currently, each of these Americans owe $38,144.04.
A family of three owes $114,432.11. (And that is IN ADDITION to their mortgage.)

ANALYSIS:
There were 24 reports in the last 30 to 31 days.
The average for the last 24 reports is 4,787,257,227.22.
The average for the last 30 days would be 3,829,805,781.78.
The average for the last 31 days would be 3,706,263,659.78.
There were 252 reports in 365 days of FY2007 averaging 1.99B$ per report, 1.37B$/day.
There were 253 reports in 366 days of FY2008 averaging 4.02B$ per report, 2.78B$/day.
There were 75 reports in 112 days of GWB's part of FY2009 averaging 8.03B$ per report, 5.38B$/day.
There were 148 reports in 213 days of Obama's part of FY2009 averaging 7.33B$ per report, 5.13B$/day so far.
There were 223 reports in 325 days of FY2009 averaging 7.60B$ per report, 5.21B$/day.

PROJECTION:
There are 1,248 days remaining in this Obama 1st term.
By that time the debt could be between 13.4 and 18.2T$.
It could be higher. It could be lower.

HISTORICAL:
President's term begins and ends on Jan 20.
(Guess who might want to hide the Reagan Bush years. Jan 20 data is missing before 1993.)
