9. If you owe someone $700 BILLION, Shouldn't you at least be NICE to them?

Or does the US intend on repaying it's humungous debt -

After all, hasn't the US either broken or opted out of almost every treaty it ever made?

So not paying back loans, that's not a big leap . . .


"A Treasury report this week showed that foreigners now hold $1.96 trillion in Treasury securities, 45 percent of the total that is publicly traded. Japan has the largest holdings at $701.6 billion, followed by China at $194.5 billion. "

I'd be NUTS to invest in Murikka looking at these figures!

Also from the same article:

"The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that the deficit in the U.S. account increased by 25.5 percent last year to a record $665.9 billion."

Didn't it go bust?

If the BoyKIng is using his "talents" to run the US . . .

'nuff said

good luck
