what is 17 trillion divided by 7 billion?

that is what Americas deficit is and your answer is what everyone in this world would have for one nations debt, but then again America carrys the worlds debt, so why is it we in America have to carry the worlds debt and pay it, shouldn't the eletists in Washington have to pay it? they voted for it didn't they? so let them pay it , most other Americans don't have a job, or are on social security, or food stamps, or welfare, or unemployment ... so why not default and let the world carry the burdens now, we have for over 200 years now , isn't it time we get a break?

    Interesting.

    Some MegaCorps. and Rich Folks get nearly 7 billion in tax breaks.

    Then trading among insiders with government money should just be banned, it leads directly to waste. I'm sure there's a few widgets around here we don't need, I know there is in Chicago.

    I guess the problem with letting rich folks run government is they don't have to think about need.

    So that equation also works out to 2,428 (and 57/100th) Rich Folks, tax breaks, MegaCorps, widgets.

    Now, in what scenario do you see that being assessed? On the other hand, what will be the result if the economy of the US collapses? We have been living on a razor's edge since the collapse in 2007-08, just barely keeping our heads above water. What do you think will happen if our government simply stops spending money? If the world were capable of taking up the slack, don't you think they would have by now? http://www.worldfinancialwatch.com/us-economy/how-...

    By the way, that isn't the deficit, it's the debt. Big difference.
