It turns out that the major concern of the United States has been turned to other public matters but in fact the economic crisis we are still in as a country is not gone and it's surprising the attention in the media isn't focused on it. As of today is approximately a staggering amount of  $13,000,000,000,000 or thirteen trillion and most of that money is owed to other countries such as China for example. It is estimated that of the approxiamately 300 million people who live in the United States the only way to pay it all back would be if everyone paid their share of $45,000!
