12 trillion
compared to most 1st world countries its a smaller percentage of our GDP, so id say 6, but only because we're screwed anyway when the Jap economy tanks here in a few years.

I totally and completely thought guessing in the trillions was a joke. I was gonna say "infinity times 2" as though you guys were having a bidding war.

ridingthe4thwv wins. The current debt is roughly 8.6 trillion.

I surveyed 38 people and the average was 5.1 trillion for the estimate and 5.4 on the worry scale. Not quite what I expected. Thanks for helping me y'all.
