Steven Vasquez is exactly right. Our Govt has made more promises then we (taxpayers) can keep. Even the FDIC, which is supposed to backstop our bank deposits, is so underfunded it has to take loans from the very banks it is supposed to be guaranteeing. Better open your eyes, Nick. We are up to our eyeballs in personal and collective debt. That is why the Fed is purposely devaluing the USDollar.

An amusing little exercise, though evaluating state debt as if it were individual debt is bound to be misleading.

I would add, though, under Repayment History: originally, most of these bonds, or the “federal reserve notes,” for that matter, were promises of payment in hard currency — that is, specific amounts of physical metal. Over the course of generations, they eventually were changed into promises of nothing at all. Well, with the possible exception: “We promise not to make too many more empty promises, too quickly.”

If I were a commodities trader, and tried that, I doubt that my own credit score would be so high. Assuming it were even measurable after the lawsuits, bankruptcy, and prosecution for fraud. Sometimes being a state has its advantages. For a while.

hey Nick HUbbard are you so stinking BLIND to reality that you would shun anyone who says anything you don’t agree with or is negative about our country?

you see REAL americans CARE about their country even if it means saying HE we @#&)%# things up lets fix it.

The fed and our debt are KILLING US and your like are you even american because he POINTED THIS OUT TO YOU.

You forgot one thing….

What about our annual income and things such as our assets that are tough to measure.

1. Ability to grow all of our own food and export it at a very cheap price.

2. Our education level is not exactly the best out there but since we’re the third largest in population and in area its pretty decent.

3. Plus we are the biggest kid/bully on the block our military and our influence is global reaching nearly every corner no other country has this.

At least your country ran debt free at one point.

Canada has been in debt from day one.
