Surely this isnt accurate

[Spacewolf]

ok so while on another forum and i came across this http://www.usdebtclock.org/

i mean i realised that the US debt would seem high to the average person with it being a very large country but it surely carnt be that large

 

[Radeonx]

Yes it's fairly large. But considering that we're just so incredibly awesome, we'll pay it back. In coolness lessons.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

well,the US does do a lot of things,so yeah,that'd be accurate.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

Well, it's really 57 trillion.

 

[AkJay]

Yea, it's somewhere in the hundreds of trillions that i remember hearing of.

How do i get to be the person who US owes all that money to?

 

[Sassafrass]

why is it still going up???? oh well, every cloud has a silver lining and all that...but i doubt this one will...

Pull an Alex Mercer on one of the guys whom we do.

Yes, it is accurate, and don't call me Shirley.

 

[grimsprice]

Oh yeah, its that high. Why? Because we spend waaaaaaaay to much on excess. The gov usually pays triple what something should actually cost.

 

[Captain Pancake]

that was quite stupefying actually.

But I guess every countries racking up debt of a scale variety anyway.

Do you (americans) happen to owe a lot of money to some attractive rich ladies who are begging for a young danish guy to satisfy their needs?

too many numbers hurt brain...

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Well, a lot of people in the U.S. have the belief that their credit cards will do magical things for them, as long as they keep using it to pay for things that they can't pay for!

 

[CoverYourHead]

We just need another world war to stay out of long enough that we can make other countries get into debt back to us again!

But seriously, yeah, we're boned.

This, America is so awesome that just by having a debt that large, other Countries want a huge debt so they can almost be as cool as us.

Our first lesson will be "Give all your money to America!". It's not what non Americans think. It really does make you cool.

I don't, but Wikipedia does. $13 billion over the course of 4 years.
