"All of the federal government´s efforts to stem the tide of the financial meltdown have added hundreds of billions of dollars to an already staggering national debt, a sum that is expected to double over the next 10 years to more than $23 trillion.

- from the introduction to Ten Trillion and Counting , which first aired on PBS on March 24, 2009.
Its hard to even conceive of that much money.
