A 20 year payment schedule at 6.5% ( do YOU trust us to not default? ) means that every person ( man, woman, child, camera TV) owes an additional $1029.37 every month for the next 20 years.

$4,117 for a family of four!

on top of the current tax bill.

If only there were some really rich bastards we could get to help us middle class people to pay down the debt.
