I remember when they called and said we had to count our paper clips.

Not boxes of paper clips.....individual paper clips.

Can we sell Obama, both Bushes, and Clinton (along with Congress) and their heirs and assigns, into indentured servitude until they make good on the debt?

We are in debt over $100T—probs over $150T combining funded and unfunded liabilities.

Thanks for the post; ping; thread.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt...

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

I have heard a range of several figures...$200T being the upper limit. However, I did not think you would believe it if you were dropping jaw over $41T...

Really something isn’t it!

Well, if that were the "new normal"...an official number of the actual debt, then you can now just assume the unfunded liabilities number is also massively understated.

Is there even enough money in the world to cover $400 Trillion.

Agreed.

No,probably not enough $$ in the world. What a sad state these pols have left for our children and grandchildren—and likely us~only a matter of time before the pols’ profligate spending (and other activities)catch up with us :(

>>$400 Trillion <<

If only we were able to explain it to them including the millenials (who are probably too brainwashed and uneducated to get it) maybe they would be the angry and motivated voting bloc to turn this all around.

Wave a magic wand, enact the Fair Tax and cut the government by 85%, we could probably see it fixed.

At least 7 went to Russia and China to settle them down after 2008. I would think if we didn’t there would be war, or something like it.
