11 Trillion dollars of debt? Do you have any idea how much that is? 

That could take centuries to repay!!!!

[Zero Angel]

It won't matter once the USA develops the death ray. MUAHAHAHAHA.

[Red Devil]

Well, we've already got the Death Ray (and worse), so no biggy.  Still, it's much appreciated.

[CivBase]

Everyone stay calm! I have an idea!
















































LET'S PRINT MORE MONEY TO PAY IT OFF!!

(jk)

[Red Devil]

In this cashless society, there's no need to print money any more - just tack on another zero in the computer.

[OvermindDL1]

Actually that is no where near accurate.  The US considers bonds as debt (even though it is savings), so there is a huge amount there that is higher, also they have a lot *more* debt that they do not list.  So that number could be higher or lower, who actually knows (the GAO or whatever they are maybe?).

Amen to that.

Bloody hell, I'm glad I'm not an American

Instead, you're British. The country that had its debt rating cut first: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124294765770445275.html . Or http://news.google.com/news?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&hl=en&q=britain+debt+downgrade&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=nYEZSrniCYWYtAOt3NCSDw&sa=X&oi=news_group&resnum=1&ct=title . Not that the US probably won't be far behind; Obama's saying "we're out of money" and see the attached graph here: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/05/barack-obama-were-out-of-money-now.html .

Yeah... but we're not as panicky about it

[Mr X]

Yeah, but our politicians are graciously putting 100s of 1000s of pounds (that they stole!) back into the system which must be covering some of our debts. (Unless paying back expenses money to keep your job qualifies as an expense and they're claiming it all back, )

Damned MPs, and the worst bit is that it might give the BNP a couple of seats in parliament. In which case: We're doooooooooomed I tells ya, dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmeeeeeeeeeedddddddddd!!!!!!!!
