US Debt Now At $136,260 Per Household
2012-09-05
Fundamentally changing America thru financial ruin is going as planned by Hussein Obama.
(CNSNews.com) -The U.S. government debt, which topped $16 trillion for the first time at the close of business on Friday, now equals approximately $136,260 for every household in the country.

Just since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt has increased by $45,848 per household--or about 50 percent per household.

Must have been about five years back, he was talking about some reading he has done concerning alternate economies. I mentioned yeah, sure, there has always been - black markets, barter system. He looked at me like I was going the wrong direction.

Not sure where the other $136,250 for my family is coming from. I don't think that giving up Starbucks is really gonna free up a lot of extra cash :-)

Everyone will be starving, living in tents, burning logs for warmth and sunshine will be the best (and only) medicine.

#1  So when can America = Amerika, the OWG Mighty USSA versus OWG Weak USRA Global SSR, engage in glorious Commie/Soviet-style DEBT WRITE-OFFS.

["I SEE NOTHING" SGT. SCHULTZ here].

Methinks our sacred Commie-esque Debt-to-GDP ratio will have to be much closer to that of the then-USSR's, 2012 Greece or Japan, etc. than as at present.

Speaking of Nippon ....

* FYI WORLD NEWS > DAILY YOMIURI = AXING N-POWER COULD COST TRILYUHNS. Japan would need to invest as much as Y$50.0Trilyuhn in so-called "Green Techs", e.g. Solar + Wind, in order to cease its dependency on Civilian NucEnergy by Year 2030.

Corresponding massive increase in "Green Debt" per capita per individual Household.
