1. here you go
U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK

The Outstanding Public Debt as of 09 Jan 2007 at 03:50:14 PM GMT is:
$ 8 , 6 7 9 , 4 9 9 , 8 1 8 , 1 0 8 . 5 3

The estimated population of the United States is 300,671,360
so each citizen's share of this debt is $28,867.07.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.70 billion per day since September 29, 2006!
Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!
