@yaplonglong once again with increased construction comes decreasing unemployment. when you build something like a stadium for "useless sports" you provide jobs for the people building the stadium and future jobs for the people running the stadium those people then spend there money, putting the money back into the economy. its also gives money to people who provide the materials to build the stadium when the stadium is built people come to the stadium and spend money which promotes circulation.

@yaplonglong Ok cool thanks for the fun facts (that I was already fully aware of) but the national debt is still not 202 trillion, nor is the unemployment rate 22%. Sorry.

[yaplonglong]

@xFALCONPUNCHxx - Even as it stands today, it's pretty bad. The national debt is 14.1 T. How much is 14.1 Trillion?

If the gov decides to repay $1 billion a day, not adding new debts, no interest payments. How long would it take to pay down the 14 T?

40 years or slightly more. How much is that per citizen?

It is $3.3 per day or $100 per month for the next 40 years.

Incidentally this does not include, state debts, Muni debts, CC debts, personal debts, student debts, corporate debts......

@yaplonglong I know our country's eventually gonna be screwed. That's not my argument. I'm just saying your "estimates" are completely wrong and nowhere close to what it actually is. And if it ever reaches that China would probably officially take us over.

@xFALCONPUNCHxx - It is difficult to explain what reality means to a frog in a pot of water being heated up slowly.

[xFALCONPUNCHxx]

@yaplonglong first of all, the U.S. never reached 22% unemployment and is nowhere near 202 Trillion in debt. Right now unemployment's 9.8% and the national debt is 14 trillion. If those rates were at what you said they were I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be a country anymore.

Ok I'm done now.

@tommyd110 - Do whatever you like. US is finished. 42.5 million people on food-stamps. 22% unemployment. Country 202 Trillion in debt. 2 unfinished wars. 40+ states insolvent. Government printing money like crazy. And you blow your money on a stadium. WOW.

@supermcnuggets12 - With your comment I can believe why the US is going down the tube so fast, one has to believe it. But really, the US has got to do something constructive, you are wasting your money and energy on useless sports.
