Seems like the data is a bit out of date – our current debt is over 12.3 trillion. Meaning we are more like at 85% of GDP. And has every indication of getting much worse.

It’s like a sport to some of these people.

I begin to understand why bankers and financiers have historically been so feared and hated…

See, the American capitalist pig is just as bad as the Greek capitalist pig!?
The Greece Gross Domestic Product is worth 357 billion dollars or 0.58% of the world economy. I guess we’re lucky they’re not a ‘super-power’, right?
Sleepy sheeple.

#5 is wrong. Most of the big European countries are in the same debt situation as the US. Here is a link to prove it. Another link showing which foreigners hold US debt.

The difference here is Europe has money to pay for it, America has debt. We quit worrying about our debt long ago, hoping nobody notices we have more debt than our entire economy can pay for.

The Neocons certainly have redefined that stuff for themselves not Conservatives. Conservatives know you need trust busting to maintain a free market. The DOJ hasn’t seen a monopoly it didn’t approve of in about 3 decades other than Microsoft and in the end they approved of the monopoly anyway.

Who says America doesn’t produce the worlds best finical engineers?

If we can’t be number 1 at manufacturing, because; little joe six pack wants a living wage, then at least; we can be number 1 at finical engineering because big Joe Bank White Collar wants a 2 billion dollar bonus.

Seems like America’s fiscal conservatives have redefined fairness, integrity, honesty, capitalism, Adam Smith principles ….
