Foxnews ^

Posted on 07/15/2012 4:36:22 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

Based on official 2010 International Monetary Fund data released earlier this year, the U.S. debt per capita is $46,208.

Here's the same figure for the four European countries that have accepted bailouts.

Ireland: $41,906

Greece: $38,159

Portugal: $19,686

Spain: $18,162

-snip-

If "intra-governmental holdings" are excluded, the U.S. debt per capita falls to $34,285 -- and slips below Greece and Ireland, but above that of Portugal and Spain.

Cities in CA and PA are going bankrupt....my prediction is that soon some states will.....and eventually the Federal govt is this spending insanity does not stop.

Stock up on guns and ammo because it will NOT be pretty when this eventuality does occur.

THIS should be the focus of the RNC and Romney. DO not get distracted by everything else which is minor in comparison.

People understand how serious this is.....the 2010 election results were largely bc of debt.

We obviously haven't poured enough money into fighting the debt crisis.

Yeah well - the people running up this monster debt keep winning on election day.

If I were a liberal I'd be laughing, smiling and flipping everyone the bird too. No one is lifting a finger to stop them.

Now go pay your taxes - you owe quite a bit of money. :)

They once used silver dollar coins to flip pre-game. Now, with obamanomics all they can afford is a dime.

There’s no way we can get out of this without massive cuts.

Before long there won’t be enough money coming in to cover anything but the interest on the debt.

This isn’t by accident, this is by design.
