This is America's Debt, realtime.

Just thought I would show the world how we are quickly going to the crapper.

The majority of the 'debt' is between nations, Japan loans to England, England loans to Germany, USA to England, etc.

Then debt crediter #2 is China. Only country in the world with a government surplus. A big one, too.

And though I don't think one man can make a difference, it's clear that we can elect a man who can. I don't think there is any point in pointing that out seeing as it's pretty obvious. America is still an economic god in terms of world influence, and we should play by it.

As for the animals, screw them. Environmental awareness increases usually in a time when industrial problems are gone, and more modern problems arise. The industrial problem of lacking an energy source creates initiative to find ways to help out our industry, for, without it, we are nothing, and the animals are safe anyway.

The debt clock will still rise, we won't see a balance in a long time but truly the biggest issue is our spending. The tax cuts were pointless, and even with the tax cuts -- average salaries went down. What does that tell you? Rich people got a tax cut, and yet showed NO incentive for growth. They were making more money and they sat there fatty. I'd rather have those 1.35 Trillion into the economy to kill the debt again.

The global balance of payments is zero. The reason the US has so much debt is because no president since Clinton has made any effort to repay it when times have been good. Bush rode the economic booms without repaying anything, whilst at the same time, public debt soared due to credit availability from banks. The banks going bust, the bailout and the stimulus package has added even more to US debt. I'm amazed more and more people are emigrating to America quite frankly. Then again, I'd rather be in Afghanistan than Mexico with the drug wars going on right now.

I was completely joking when I said that. I think this eco-awareness stuff is crap.

To go along with this there is no major harm that would come to animals from this.

Clearly, you were just waiting for something to spark your insult tinged post. I'm sorry, but not everything has to be a heated debate or competition


Actually, I wrote that in about one minute, without really thinking about how much I wanted to write it beforehand.

Maybe next time you could ask if I meant one thing or another before you make assumptions and write an essay on how to make me a better person.


I could, but that makes the entire experience of AG less fun.

Violently oubursting to every thing that anyone says makes life much more enjoyable.

If it is possible, why haven't you done it already, Mr. Initiative?


I would, but as it is well known I am a lazy troll, I find it much easier to post on online forums that almost no one knows exist, and make a giant problem out of a little post. If I actually could muster the drive, parental support, people and time to bring a giant thing to Washington, I would. However, seeing as that is not feasible, I will stick to this for a while longer.
