Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted May 17, 2002 Yepp, the official amount at which a country is considered bankrupt is 6 trillion dollars in debt.

Russian is really a nice language Or you could have saved plenty of dollars on not dropping the bombs in the first place.

Tex -USMC- 0 Posted May 17, 2002 well damn. I knew our debt was in the shitter but I didnt know how bad. And you know what? Ill bet you that if you go up to the Senate and pass these figures around, most of them wont even know about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRogue 0 Posted May 17, 2002 The national debt is meaningless. As its already been noted the majority of the debt is money the goverment owes itself thru government intrests. The debt will never be called to be repaid, eventually the Congress and House will get the balls to just write it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wobble 1 Posted May 17, 2002 the US has had a national debt ever since mid WW2 bacuase of SEVERAL things.. A: admonishing all Eu countries of their lend lease debt, mainly GB (a few hundred billion in todays money) B: being the single country to provide ALL financal aid for the rebuilding of Brit, germany and japan (screw italy ?) C: providing aid without ever expecting to be re-paid. to god knows how many 3rd world shitholes, mexaco.. etc etc D: funding 1/4 of all of NATO's expenses.. E: other.. who knows, secret shit.. whatnot.. if the US was re-paid all the money it has given out to any and everyone we would be in a major surplus, but I guess thats our fault (tax payers) for being so nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
