Current Financial Report of the United States 2002
http://www.fms.treas.gov/fr/
Summary
America's liabilities minus assets = US$ 31 trillion
My calculator doesn't have enough "0"s to divide by 280 million
population
But, according to NOYB, it's a great thing to pay interest on $31
trillion dollars!!!
That all depends on the rate. If I can get myself a loan for $31
trillion dollars at a low rate I'd take it in a second and happily pay
the interest.
Could you loan me a billion or so, Steve? Can I amortize it out ad
infinitum and only pay interest on the loan, too?
