    Default National Debt

    as of today the national debt is over 8 trillion dollar's ($8,617,742,727,306.43) to be exact

    The estimated population of the United States is 300,505,497
    so each citizen's share of this debt is $28,677.49.

    The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
    $1.36 billion per day since September 29, 2006!



    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. growers produce nearly $35 billion worth of marijuana annually, making the illegal drug the country's largest cash crop, bigger than corn and wheat combined, an advocate of medical marijuana use said in a study released on Monday.

    The report, conducted by Jon Gettman, a public policy analyst and former head of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, also concluded that five U.S. states produce more than $1 billion worth of marijuana apiece: California, Tennessee, Kentucky, Hawaii and Washington.

    California's production alone was about $13.8 billion, according to Gettman, who waged an unsuccessful six-year legal battle to force the government to remove marijuana from a list of drugs deemed to have no medical value.

    Tom Riley, a spokesman for the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy, said he could not confirm the report's conclusions on the size of the country's marijuana crop. But he said the government estimated overall U.S. illegal drug use at $200 billion annually.



    marijauna is the U.S's largest cash crop. which means if the use would grow sell and cultivate hemp and marijauna our national debt could eventually be gone. as of right now, i cant see that happening.
