If every man, women, and child in the US came up with around $40,000, every penny of this debt would be paid off.
With population increases, plus interest, let's call it $45,000 each, over the next ten years.
That's $4,500 p/year, per person, for 10 years, and the entire $14 trillion is gone.
Of course, if the government cuts the military budget, cuts unnecessary corporate subsidies, pulls out of stupid wars, weens us away from oil, and just handles the money they already currently mismanage, more efficiently, that number would be much much less p/person, to the point where it might not even be noticeable.
