All the federal bailouts, treasury cash injections and foreign infusion of funds into our institutions/stocks has meant that America's national debt is set to pass $10,000,000,000,000 this week. To put this in perspective, the $700 billion bailout is only 7% of the forecasted national debt, small change by comparison. Unfortunately longer term the national debt is set to go even higher; thanks to funding needs for the ongoing government intervention and regulatory activities.
