13 is unlucky, we need to get to 14T, stat!

I looked at that and said "nah, that's too many zeroes". Then I realized it wasn't. 🙁

I'm up to $18k after hernia surgery and moving to Maui. What about you guys?

Relax...According to this, the real number is currently close to $21 trillion: http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20100525/cm_csm/303853

and don't forget, the CBO is predicting another another $9 trillion will be added by 2020. That should give us a nice round $30 trillion. 😱

GO USA!

We can tack on a couple more zeros, it will be fine I swear.

With the deficit almost 50% of the budget it shouldn't be long.

Only trillion or so until it matches the GDP.

About $30K, college.

And no end in sight.

I blame the idealist libertarians!

FYI, if you've ever wondered what 1 trillion dollars actually looks like.. http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html

Here, go do your part.

Yep, only 40k and you can say "Well, I've done my part".

 

[DesiPower]

40k is if you count 300mil, about 50mil are humans that have been imported by the politicians for votes who dont give a flying fvck about the country, so you are now looking at around 52k

Clearly those libertopians are to blame, and this just proves that their ideas could never work.

 

[Miramonti]

But we have Texas as collateral.

Well, not really. There are an awful lot of children who have no ability to pay, under 18 in this country according to rough census number is 25% of the population. Then consider that half of the households in the US pay no federal income tax.

300M x 75% = 225M

225M x 50% = 112.5M

It's more than $100K per taxpayer.

America is heading in the wrong direction. Only a matter of time.

 

[TwinsenTacquito]

12k of mine is college. I just remembered though I have a few K in a simple IRA I can cash out and pay a penalty. Since the return on that is less than the interest I'm paying, I should probably cash it out.


Maybe America has something like that. Sell Arizona to Mexico for $13,000,000,000,000

awesome

Here, go do your part.

I'd be tempted if I thought it would actually reduce the deficit instead of just being lost in the race to the next zero

Remember, deficits don't matter.
