  • @HailToTheSkunk America owes alot more to China. America keeps borrowing and borrowing and borrowing and borrowing and NEVER paying it back. Pretty soon the whole fucking world will get sick of this.

    Why do you think they stay and top and spend a shit load of money? It's because they keep borrowing, even now, when they're at the bottom of the barrel, they try and stop their rising debt by borrowing.

  • is the UK really in debt? i don't know how it works but 9.7 % of Americas debt is owed to the uk so shouldn't that balance the books?

  • For years,goverments have never told its population the REAL truth.Sadly the real reason is they think that we are just mere children,incapable of taking on board the real truth,in case it caused public disorder,revolution,or at worse try to hang the culprits ie,high profile oil magnets,politicions,industrial­ists of the highest order.Hence the awareness of the NWO being set into place...wake up people to whats going on !!!

  • I don think that even merits a response, but here goes:

    1. none of that money went to paying for the war, the war was all payed for by the taxpayer. Iraqi oil was privatised, so all of that money went to rich corporations, not to paying off the huge national debt.

    2. The Iraq war has so far cost over 700,000 lives. If you think that the oil and money justifies that, then you should become a US military planner.

  • Grammar ? lol it would take to long to explain it and u would'nt proberly understand it anyway. all i will say is wars are important for many resons. you think wars make a country lose money . truth is if a war is fort in the RIGHT way thay can be very profitable. dont take my word for it just read up on your history and you will see. more recently look at the oil resevers the usa has gained from takeing over iraq 5 trillon dollas worth, cost of the war was a fraction of that figer.

  • I meant you explain it to me. My guess is that it means proper grammar is no longer needed.

  • i hope u do one day, be warned it is not a pretty pitchure the truth never is.

  • This country is only gonna get worse, im jumping ship!!!!

  • holy shit thats like 1.8 trillion dollars.

  • i would like to see this "bigger picture".
