According to the comments of the Comptroller General David Walker in the 2006 Financial Report of the U.S. Government, the U.S. Government's debt has gone from $20 trillion in 2000 to $46 trillion in 2006. "This translates into a burden of about $156,000 per American or approximately $375,000 per full-time worker, up from $72,000 and $165,000 respectively, in 2000." (p. 28)
