Re: calling in the debt - how much do you owe?
Surely you can't be serious about this debt business.

http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/li...prb05107-e.htm Another cool graph - this one equates the GDP of US states to those of entire nations (Australia gets to be Ohio): http://bigpicture.typepad.com/commen...ies_gdp_a.html Of course while that may make us Americans feel good - the fact that our currency has tanked over the last year means this isn't accurate anymore - and at the rate our government is going... it's just going to get worse. |

Re: calling in the debt - how much do you owe?
A very interesting article arguing that Politics (specifically lack of Political Competition) is behind debt buildup:

Re: calling in the debt - how much do you owe?
Well bush family earned $923,807 in this year alone according to their income. Cheney family earned 3 million. What is wrong with that picture when the economy is in recession and the USA debt sum is higher than ever?

Re: calling in the debt - how much do you owe?
SpiritWarrior, I don't really understand your point. Are you suggesting people who show some financial success during a tough economy are "bad"?
BTW, the Clintons earned more than $20 million last year, and over $100 million over the last 8 years, according to this NPR article. I wouldn't count on them to be "more in touch with the common man" than the Bush/Cheney team.

Re: calling in the debt - how much do you owe?
In an ideal world, the government officials out be looking out for us. But for the most part, politics is just a different kind of business to them.
