like the number reducing concept

Denomination:] I think they need:]

The debt of france is roughly a tenth of the american debt. So you'll say : yeah but france is a small country. It's true, we only produce a fifth of what america produces (gmp). Pretty much a fail for america as in proportions, you're twice as "bad" as we are. Now don't get me wrong, i love america, so many great things coming from this country. I wish it well and i would rather not see the communist China as the most powerfull country e.e

the price of war on terror

yeah!!!

unreal

So they owe this money to other countries. So the rest of the world is financing them.

"The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating."
- Thomas Jefferson

la ultima pinche imagen es una puta mentira, jugar con las escalas es engañante si no lo sabes hacer bien. y por supuesto, esta esta mal

"the price of war on terror" = $1.25 trillion
2009 stimulus act = $821 billion
The war killed many bad Islamofascists.
The stimulus act did what exactly?

If you believe there is an $14.3 trillion in debt, then you must believe there were not any surpluses in the budget since 1957.

If you believe there was a surplus in last decade, then you must believe the the actual federal debt is $9.7 trillion, since all intragovernmental debt is simply moving money from your left pocket to your right pocket and the public can't pay it down.

It is not logical or possible to believe in both.

wellwellwell debt is in dollars. If the economy collapses, value of dollar will be close to 0 whatever is used then on out... bread?

Then there is no more debt and the people and infrastructure are still there. Also the us has a lot of very very big sticks. Who's going to put forth ultimatums to get their money back?

@11

LOL... it doesn't work that way.

Oh and no matter how big your stick are, current debt aside,
some countries can stop further transaction until until they
got their money back.

Eg Venezuela, they don't trade crude oil with US anymore...
even though they paying $0.13 per gallon over there for RON 95
compared to average $4 per gallon in the US.

This is the power of supply and demand.

if u fold a newspaper 100 times it would strech from earth to the sun

You are way off in your calculations. If you doubled an object 100 times, the size would be 2 ^100. That equals 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376.

A hydrogen molecule is very small. The radius of a hydrogen molecule is known as a Bohr radius. Doubled to get a diameter, you get an Ångström, or 1×10−10 meters.

So, if my calculations are right, if you stacked hydrogen molecules end to end, starting with just one and doubling it 100 hundred times, it would end up being close to 850,000 AUs long. An AU is an astrological unit which is the length between the Earth and the Sun or 149,597,870.7 kilometers (92,955,807.27 miles).

war on terror plus nasa.
