And likely, in world history, to boot!
Break out the flag lapel pins, boys and girls! We’re number 1! And the best part is, the Democrats have promised to increase our per capita debt by 70% come 2022.
— At which point we’ll be freakin’ uncatchable.
GO TEAM!
Woo! We’re awesome!
Take that, Europe!
I hate to imagine the stories that’ll be told about America when we’re as dead and gone as Atlantis.
It ain’t gonna be Plato, let me tell you. More like Hesiod
Or Aesop.
Whaddaya mean, broke? Have the printing presses have stopped running? When did that happen?
We’re broker than the Weimar Republik? Go us!
This makes my head hurt.
Well, this and my terrible cold.
Evidently there are plenty of folks willing to part with their dollars for $200+ Nikes. I see rioting on the teevee, again.
I’m waiting for the folks who want these sneakers to just start sticking people up and stealing the shoes off their feet.
The nice thing about global
thermonuclear wareconomic collapse is that it provides an environment where the most productive and innovative can thrive. Of course, there is a bit of minor inconvenience in the interim…Captain Obama likes to toot the foghorn for his buddies.

The most productive and innovative warlords?
Minor inconvenience, dicentra.
I like the chart. Well, I hate the reality the chart represents. When did we become a nation that borrowed from our grand-children instead of saving for them? Oh right, when the baby-boomers discovered the joys of fiat money, after inventing sex, drugs, and black people’s music.
When chldren became first became disposable, which in turn has led them to be increasingly treated like a luxury item.
Think about it. Statistically, it’s not your great grandchildren that are going to suffer.

Rush played a clip from that speech —the part about trees being the right size and the four American made (in Canada or Mexico probably) vehicles between Romney and his wife— and followed if with a terse no comment
OK, these diagrams showing our Immense Debt are of course shocking to the Tea Party, but does Joe Lunchbox know WHY it’s bad to have this kind of debt?
What is likely to happen to US? Because if our per-capita debt is worse than Greece, but we’re not Greece, what’s the big dill?
As long as we’re looking at ugly charts, here’s another.
dicentra, I honestly think that people are instinctively realizing that those debts are too large to ever be paid back, and so they won’t be. So why worry?

St. Louis Fed President Says ‘Bad Luck’ Responsible for Economy
those debts are too large to ever be paid back, and so they won’t be. So why worry?
Exactly. Unless the Chinese decide to take federal land in exchange for the debt, we’re cool, right?
I wonder if those same people realize that our unfunded liabilities are also too large to ever pay, and so they won’t be.
Behold the future:
That right there is why the US doesn’t have $83 trillion (or whatever the number is today) in unfunded liabilities. You pay your liabilities. These never will be.
Image of Romney speech.
Heh. I love those sorts of pictures.
Pardon the late night drunk commenting, but have you ever seen a more fabricatedlooking story than this?
Abe, looks like @futureexbanker sat on that iPhone 4s-aquired image for 6 days…before running it through Adobe Photoshop on his CS5 Mac. Nice toys, for a dirty socialist.
