Mr. Taylor,

   Are you sure about your  interest number of $363,823,722,920.26?
I only got $363,823,722,920.25.  Maybe I should count again?

Cheers,

Norman

3) The government debt skyrocketed during the Reagan/Bush presidencies. The
debt rose from 940 Billion to 4.18 Trillion, a 450% increase !!!! A large
percentage of the money was spent on the cold war military buildup and
frivilous pork belly programs.

The interest on the Federal Government Debt for 1998 was
$363,823,722,920.26. With just the interest, the US could build thousands
of
new schools, bridges, hospitals each year.
