I would love for him to visualize how much we pay towards our debt each year in comparison to the actual debt.

Last I heard we were estimated to be spending $533 billion per year in 2015 and that estimate was from 2009 (we've spent a lot more since then). So assuming that's brought us a little closer you can assume we'll be paying $500 billion in the next year or so. Meaning you can look at the One Trillion Visualization and cut it in half.

Only source I could find for this: http://money.cnn.com/2009/11/19/news/economy/debt_interest/i...

Total Federal spending is around $3.5 trillion a year these days. This and lots of other useful information can be found here:
