National Debt

These numbers are from a website called Debt Angel. I am trying to track down the sources and double check the numbers as I continue to examine health care reform plans and statistics that are important for health care reform:

"Here are the numbers for the real national debt for 2008 and how they break down, and how you figure into this debt:
  1. $36,300,000,000,000 Medicare
  2. $ 6,600,000,000,000 Social Security
  3. $13,500,000,000,000 Publicy-held debt, civilian and military retirement benefits, and other misc.

Total=$56,400,000,000,000 $184,000 for each person! or $483,000 for each household!*"
