debt limit.
Since $430 billion is a sum too colossal to grasp it is broken down for better understanding.
If it had to be paid off at this time and if everyone in Rappahannock County and in the rest of the country had to chip in an equal share to liquidate it, it would require $2,160 from every man, woman and child, or more than $8,000 per family.
Since there is, of course, no plan to pay of£ the debt, it presents no immediate problem. What is of concern, however, is the huge amount of interest that must be paid on it annually.
It will total no less than $21.2 billion during the next fiscal year, second only to the cost of national defense, the new budget shows.
Residents of Rappahannock County will be paying approximately $276,000 toward these interest charges, in line with their normal share of the overall tax load. Per local family, it amounts to some $180.
