Interesting question. At this point it’s moot, and what is needed is to engineer a means to actually pay off our national debt and then ensure we never get in this situation again.
No wonder Obama wants everyone in college.
No one should get student loans.
As long as we remain slaves, yes the American people are a large asset of the fedgov. More is the pity.
Carla Bruni is the middle, who is the left one?
If the fedgov were a publicly traded company the SEC would have shut them down for non-disclosure and or material misstatements of fact.
Biggest asset used to be its work ethic. Per capita, it’s been steadily dwindling.
The major tangible asset that WE THE PEOPLE own is all the federal land locked up by varous special interest legislation.
Trillions of dollars in loans and handouts that will never be paid back may be considered as assets by government accountants but realistically that is money gone forever and should be written off.
Must be time to upgrade to a bigger monitor.

Most of that money will go back to the Democrats in Congress as campaign donations, hence more loans hence more money, etc.
LOL. Sorry about that.
I would have thought that Federal Lands would be the largest asset - or don’t they count that ?
None of the above. It’s the State of Alaska.
Purportedly a fauxto -- butt when you're constantly held up as some sort of fashion maven, you're "wide" open for critique....
Land. Exactly. And states should be demanding to get their land back from the feds, so they can put it to productive use.
I would think the amount of land the feds own would be the largest asset. Every year millions of acres are taken over or “preserved as open space”. What do the feds plan to do with all that land?

When the Federal or State givernments can Tax something you OWN..
You’re paying RENT ON IT!... you don’t own it at all..
The proper question is do you own anything?..
-OR- do you merely appear to own something?..
Property taxes are a bit obscene.. and humorous..
And income taxes are a cartoon...
Americans have been quite brain washed..
Yes.. thats right I’m talking to YOU!!!..
Her or her 100 person multi million dollar staff sure screwed the pooch on that one.
I are going to Europe. All the most important people in the world will be there and they will be dressed to kill, so I will dress like I am going to company picnic.
