Re: "...recent Treasury estimates putting the national debt at $22 trillion."
But that isn't how much we owe. It's a lie.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require every publicly traded corporation to include the present value of future obligations in its reported DEBT. The United States exempts itself from this requirement.

If the government reported its debt the same way these corporations do, the debt would be between $125 trillion and $200 trillion.

Then there's all the other debt: State, Municipal, Corporate, Personal....
