Q:
If America could repay its national debt at the rate of one dollar per second, how long would it take to be debt free?
A:
377,087 years (of course it would take much longer if you include interest).
The US national debt currently stands at 11.9 trillion dollars. That amounts to $75,000 for each working taxpayer.
Have a nice day!
