Remember when they used to tell you "there is no such thing as a stupid question'? well, as I've already adequately demonstrated, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to money. About the only thing I've ever done right with it was my TSP and planning to retire on a law enforcement pension. Other than that, if you can make a mistake with money, I've done it.
So can somebody explain to me, in really simple terms and language, how a country perceived by most of the world to be one of the most prosperous can have such a ridiculous debt as to be measured in trillions of dollars? (It is that high, isn't it?)
I mean, how can we owe ANYBODY any money when all we keep doing is giving away bushels full of money to other countries who burn our flags and effigies of our leaders?
