Fiscal Cliff put in a much better perspective

I may be a little off here myself, but I went over it a couple times and I think I got it right.

The numbers in the picture in the OP are actually wrong (they are not current, the debt is actually over 16 trillion now) AND the last number of 38.50 would actually be 3.85, if you remove 8 zero's from every number. :T

2,170,000,000,000
3,820,000,000,000
1,650,000,000,000
14,271,000,000,000
38,500,000,000

Did I screw this up too, or am I right?

Our entire financial system is a joke. I think this whole thing is a set-up. It's crazy to even try to pay off the debt when you're paying interest on every dollar you print.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. It's been hard trying to explain this to some people, hopefully this well help.

Ahh yes
