I really didn't want to get into this discusion however I felt compelled based upon all the bs scarey blogs saying that the US is broke, yet rather than just come up with figures of what I think we have in assets and revenue potential I thought I would take a few seconds to google the internet and came across one valuation suggesting that we could get 1.4 quadrillion in valuation.
How you say ? well rather than restate, simply go to the link and read it ~ its not long or complex it took me under one minute to read.
For those who are unsure how much a quadrillion is ~ its 1,000 trillion and according to the article the US gov could obtain that much if we were to offer a new secuity based upon the GDP of the US.
Additionally I could point out all the natural resources within the US ~ the land, the water, minerals, metals, people, animals, etc etc
Additionally I could tally how much our military and industrial complexs are worth, the skills of the people ~ again etc etc
How much do you think ??? very probably way more than quadrillions when you factor in potential and the future capability of the children and those yet to be created.
Now compare that to the national debt ~ factor in the fact that we can and do print money out of the air that the world gladly accepts and prefers ~ world currency.
Now I'm not saying that everything is being run well, but when you look at the bigger picture the US is no where even close to being considered even a credit risk to not be able to repay its obligations.
