So, I gather from the article, you figured out how much you really owe.
YOu made an omission from the article headline that vastly misstated its message.

The first line is "Fact Checker"

So you apparently deliberately mislead your audience as to what you were citing.

I made no ommission. It is against TOS to copy & paste too much.
Then tell us all.... What do we really owe?

If we eliminate most of the waste fraud and abuse in ALL gov't programs we would have the money and NOT have to borrow.

Then again I don't think you really care.

All you want to do is throw out inflammatory rhetoric.

We need to euthanize all who can't contribute to our glorious Reich, and I have it on good advice from a Dr, Mengele! It's for the good of the American race you know.

We should definitely bankrupt everyone with false promises that you can have everything you want.

And then we can dispense with the idea that "wanting" something means you have a right to it.

No, we just stop having the government pretend it can buy for us what we can't afford for ourselves.

You seem amazed that we could agree.
I don't care what party anyone is with. I will hold them accountable as an individual.

How about we encourage people to start saving that money, thus resulting in assets, rather than debts. Nahhh, dont want to do that..

An omission, from something I never intended or even did? The article headline was not in my thoughts.
What I probably should have included, was a ? after 128 Trillion, in the subject title, for those that just wanted a personal conflict to reply to.


With all that said, what are our nations unfunded liabilities and what is it going to cost?

Does it mean that by the time we get there to fund it, are were not going to be 17 trillion in the hole, or will it climb to match the unfunded stuff.

We cannot even pay that ahead. What kind of debt are we talking here?
