A trillion has 12 zeros, not 9.
$7,000,000,000,000 / 290,000,000 = $24,137 per US inhabitant./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

Damn, and I thought the $1500 I just spent on a used car was bad. Haha and how many BILLIONS does Bush want to spend to put people in on the moon?
Well, I guess in the end they can just fake that one with a multimillion dollar movie set :>

I'm all for cutting the fat.
Government should be smaller, all that it should be responsible is military and a basic level of infrastructure/government. Some research, etc. as well (I would book that w/ Defense and Infrastructure).
Giving NASA a goal is great, maybe they'll actually accomplish something useful. It's CURRENT budget is near or at (too lazy to look it up) what it was when they went to the moon. The difference? The entire agency isn't behind one goal. Get them behind one goal and cut the fucking fat. Then you'll see some goddamned results.
So fuck welfare. Fuck all the social program bullshit. Cut some of the more crazy military spending (Iraq? heh.), and cut about half of the federal government employment roster. At least.
Then start paying down some of the damned debt. Gah.
Oh well, will never happen.
People EXPECT shit now, and there would be riots if things got taken away.

Notwithstanding the domestic debt, the problem is not the debt itself, as has been pointed out, in comparison to GNP & the size/position of the US economy, it's not unmanagable. The problem is the cost of servicing the debt. Interest charges etc. Which, by and large, the US has only limited control over. Every day that goes by and nothing is done about that debt, money is sucked out of the US economy, basically thrown away. It's a waste. It's like an extra tax where you pay it to some foreign guys. It's a lesson the UK learnt the hard way. Unfortunately it's often in politicians own interest to let these massive debts build up fucking there own people. Happens all the time all over the world. That debt will equal some pain further down the line unless it's dealt with quickly. At least, that was the result in the UK.In 1904, Charles Newman-Berry connected two abacus's together using specially enhanced GrapeVine thus inventing the first Internet connection.

then how the hell did you ever get so far into debt in the first place?
If it can't keep you out of debt, what makes you think it'll get you out of debt once you're in it?Comment

scooby doo as scooby does:
Yeppo.. totally agree!Notwithstanding the domestic debt, the problem is not the debt itself, as has been pointed out, in comparison to GNP & the size/position of the US economy, it's not unmanagable.

There is a financial disneyland in the US - still is right now - and this is also being pressured up by the incompetent conduct of the Admin who clearly have nada fiscal policy.
Last spring the "bad news" was wiped under the carpet at budget time when the Treasury report pointed out the real debt problem was $44.2 trill and suggested immediate tax increases to 60%. The comparative for this sum would be to say that 90% of all household assets in the US belong to other nations.
It is also projected that within very few years 40% of the total US economy will be owned by other countries - hell, it's bad enough right now!
There is a war going on, and it's nowhere near the Middle East, - the effects will ripple the world over, but mainly within the US. This is sad shit.

the national debt really is not a problem. just to break it down in simple terms, part of the debt is attributed to how imports exceed exports. and why does the us have more imports? because the typical american can afford more expensive imported goods... a sign of how healthy our economy is versus the entire world.SIG TOO BIG!

Have a look at consumer purchasing within the US - that is an extension of this financial fantasy when the majority of consumers are racking up credit cards, got both partners out earning a living trying to pay existing bills and, especially recently, failing badly.
There is much more to this than imports exceeding exports - tis too simplistic :-)XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

Assuming they did and exported more, the problem is the actual reciept of funds back into the US is not happening.

the united states has been in debt since the birth of our nation, financing various wars and assuming the debts of others. surely our debt is a lot higher than other countries, but it's nothing that will prove to be the downfall of the u.s. i guess if the debt has to increase in order for the most powerful nation in the history of the world to thrive, then so be it.SIG TOO BIG!
