We're #... LAST?

Wow, if you look at the list of countries according to how much money they actually HAVE rather than how much they're WORTH, things aren't looking so pretty for the US of A. It's also scary to see who number 1 and 2 are!

What comes after a trillion?

That is so pathetic. We just keep borrowing and borrowing and making our citizens feel like thats no problem. I am SOOO strict with myself to never get into debt, yet look at our country. Its sad and stupid.

China is going to be huge in 5 to 10 years. Almost everything in our country is made in china.

It's so scary because I can just see WW3 playing out in my head... and it's like that list right there divides the sides... if we ever go into Iran (Like I think is the REAL reason we're in Iraq) there WILL be a WW3. And China will not sit back and watch Iran get invaded... and neither will Russia. Those three countries hold the number 21, 1, and 5 spot on that list in their respective orders.

I'm surprised that Canada is in the black. I would have sworn that we were in debt too.

No worries... half of our debt is owed to our own citizens and of the other half 95% of that is owed to our own corportations.
