Yes, I still am. If you want to quote unfunded liabilities, quote those. But if you're going to straight up quote the debt clock, quite $16 Trillion.

Wheylous:
I find an annoying number of Ron Paul supporters claiming the debt is $17 trillion. I have no clue why.

You're still on this?

Kelvin Silva:

Close enough.

16 tril vs 17 tril same thing.

Also theres the 200 trillion unfunded liabilities.

Have you read Tom Woods Rollback?

If you factor in the trade deficit totals ($55 trillion) [$40--60 billion per month since 1973]

and the "unfunded liabilities" of SS, Medicare, Fannie/Freddie, Iraq & Afghanistan ($110 trillion)

We are well above the $16 or so trillion of the federal budget deficit.

The average teacher in the Chicago Public School system makes that much.

Rand Paul: Average teacher makes 70Gs a year

The Texas Trigger — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:02:52 GMT

So, recently Rand Paul was on Stand Up with Pete Dominick endorsing his new book Big Government Bullies. He made the claim that the average american teacher makes 70Gs a year plus 30Gs worth of benefits. I did not believe this and went out searching and still cannot find any numbers that verify this claim. The highest I could find is about 55Gs in california. This means we are nowhere close to 70Gs as an average. Could be be including college professors? Even this, this number seems dubious at best.
