Yes, but the USA also has a GDP that is almost equal with the national debt, a GDP with the value of 19 trillion. So [user]14136520[/user] is actually right; the USA is the richest country in the world if you look at GDP. It does have a huge debt, but so do other countries: http://www.usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html

Lesson of the day: Please look at other figures and numbers before discarding people and their ideas :3

Ye I'd love for your argument to be right but America is obscenely rich. It's pretty normal for countries to have large national debt and still be considered wealthy, as weird as that sounds.

National debts aren't quite that simple, craftking is right.

Too bad they waste shameless amounts of money on their army

thats not waste of money, they fight for their freedom how did their freedom get to iraq? the terrorists kidnapped it

Well deficit and surplus are more important for measuring that, as is GDP, and average wealth.

So true (Let's not mention that little incident with Vietnam, ok?)

i know but here is the problem, when they will actually have to pay the debt...... RN america is not actually a rich country, its a country where many rich people lives in. america's debt is around 20 tril$ america Importers goods that worth arounf 1.22 trill$ (which means -1.22 trill) america Exporting in the worth of 0.78 trill$ (thats +0.78) and the interest of the debt is.... shit, i cant find it long story short, america starts with -20 trill$ and loose around -0.5 trill per year. that makes them not so reach country

but its nice to see someone else who actually gives a crap about economy

sadly you are right, im sure a day will come when most of the countries will just ignore the debt and say that they are free from it or something
