>World debt is about 69 trillion with a population of 7.8 billion. That's under $9k USD per person. That's a bizarre way to cut it for a number of reasons. For example, half of the world lives on less than $5.50 per day [0]. The more relevant statistic is the US national debt is $26 trillion [1] and the additional unfunded liabilities dwarf that. There are 143 million US taxpayers. It's something like $160k per US taxpayer [2]. Much of it can/will be printed away but not without other consequences.
