so you know you could have 100 billion in surplus and you won't see anything happen that'll change your life in a postive way. Welcome to Politics...
You are a Country with 30million people and a per capita of 18k... you call that wealthy? I guess compared to the rest of the world you are. but you still have a bunch of Countries ahead of you

Actually the USA owes other countries over 7 TRILLION and it means a hell of a lot. They don't make it sound like it means a lot on TV, but talk to an economist, it could become a massive problem. Every American is in dept $20,000 the day he's born. Just because they ignore it on mainstream news, doesn't mean it's not a crisis waiting to happen. They have much more important things to talk about on CNN, like Scott Perterson. Canada also has a debt, but now we're making surplusses and hopefully we'll pay it off.
