7. There are 250 million adults in the US.

One trillion divided by 250 million is 4,000. This money was paid by the buyers of products, the consumers, us.
And that deficit? That deficit is almost entirely from tax cuts for the wealthy and wars in Afghanistan and the Middle East.

Where the hell is the rest of our $4,000, because $2,000 ain't cutting it.

You want to pay down your debt, go claw back those tax breaks for the 1%.
