1. Sure makes me proud to be an Amurkin, where at least ah know ah'm freeee. nt

:sarcasm:

[RagAss]

LOL........Like George Carlin said;

"Free to do what? Choose what dog food I buy for my dog !"

[Flying Dream Blues]

29. Full of Chinese poison though it may be... (and thanks!) :)

[Terre]

22. ROFL!!

Gosh I wish we could rate comments here. I'd give your comment 10+ thumbs up!

[Flying Dream Blues]

30. Thanks...gotta laugh to keep from crying sometimes... nt

[Barack_America]

2. We're #1, we're #1, we're #...what?

Well, I'm sure that's something that a few more wars could fix, right? :eyes:

[NYC_SKP]

3. YOU ROCK!

We SUCK!!!

K and R.....

Attention Obama Campaign: Big talking point, let Bush and McCain shove THIS little piece of trivia up their fucking asses.

And whomever supports them.

:patriot:

[Monk06]

4. The China at the top USA at the bottom, USA twice as much in debt as China is in surplus

That is a cruel statistic. And where is Americas
arch enemy du joir, Russia? Fifth from the top.

The next time the neo cons want to start a war
they are going to have to beg for a loan from
China or Russia in order to finance it.

Some how I don't see that happening.

[Heather MC]

9. The TOP 6 Countries are RICH because of the USA $$$$$

I have never been this kind of Broke
I mean my account slips in to the negative but DAMN!!

IF this doesn't Drive you to get Obama and Keep McPOW out
nothing will

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING NO ONE WILL EVER TALK ABOUT

[Monk06]

12. Well that's true about China but not Russia. The US made a big mistake off shoring to China.

[Heather MC]

13. ha ha ha I wish that was the US's only Mistake, we made a bigger mistake

Not having aa revolution in 2000
WHY didn't we exile that son of bitch Cheney and Bush

[Monk06]

16. Cheney and Bush have made sure they are above or at least beyond the law.

Once the shit hits the fan they'll be on the
family compound in Paraquay.

[RC]

26. Yeah, but..., it helped the company's bottom line laying off all those

expensive workers. The Stock Holders, CEO and the Board have needs too ya know.

[Monk06]

27. That's why the rich live in gated communities. They know that the poor will kill them given

the first opportunity.

[rurallib]

5. This is for one year, right? Else there's some 0s missing

and the CIA has screwed up again.

[Gregorian]

14. That's what I thought. It's 10 TRILLION in outstanding public debt.

http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/faq.html

[mw]

6. That debt is a Republican tax on our grandchildren

Who will have to pay for it.

[NYC_SKP]

7. BETTER LINK: (direct to the correct page)

Thanks again, Heather MC, for bringing this to our attention!

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2187rank.html

:hi:

[Heather MC]

11. Thanks!! I will add it to the OP

[NYC_SKP]

15. You need to fix it:

It's missing this last part:

...the-world-factbook/rankorder/2187rank.html

[Heather MC]

21. Fixed it!

3 times a charm

[lob1]

8. China's number one and we're number LAST.

We got the bastards right where we want them.

[NYC_SKP]

10. Fuckin' HAITI is doing better than we are...

They're $11,000.00 in the black.

[Heather MC]

17. Everybody is better than us, no one is behind us???

is so sad all I can do is laugh
:rofl:

[me b zola]

18. WE'RE NUMBER 188, WE'RE NUMBER 188!

McCain thinks so highly of our plight that he wants us to be 189!

[Heather MC]

19. at least at 188 we are a great dirty joke

why is 88 better than 69?
Give up?

Because you get
8 twice!
waahh waah waaaaaa

[Malikshah]

37. I was going to say "We're #188" doesn' t roll off the tongue very easily, but your

joke makes it actually funny... ;)

[Parker CA]

20. Better go buy some lottery tickets!

Idiots in charge. WTF?

[Duppers]

23. and how can anyone wonder why the dollar has slipped in value so much.

nt

[Heather MC]

25. Think about it. If they keep us ignorant, they can get McCain in Office

This Report should be all they are talking about on the news
Not the Self Described Female Dog
Running around repeating the same damn speech

Ms. Huffington was so right
if we spend the next 60 days talking about Palin's Grandbaby we have lost this election
because we allowed ourselves to get distracted
we need to demand the Media reports this

I am emailing KO
but I need more people to do they respond to volume emails

[NYC_SKP]

24. PNAC thought we'd rule the world by now....

That debt wouldn't matter because "a new Pearl Harbor" and resultant retaliation and conquest of oil-rich countries would lead to that "New American Century".

That, my friends, is why we are where we are, they're burning down the country and getting out with whatever they can grab.

:patriot:

[NYC_SKP]

28. US Debt = =/-Combined Debt of ALL the other 118 debtor countries...

Or pretty close:

Other debtor countries combined: ($779,812,150,000)

The US of BushCheney America: ($738,600,000,000)

What an embarrassment.

[cascadiance]

31. Evidence that Rethuglican and Corporatist rape and pillage of our treasury almost complete!

Wake up and take our country back! Time to take back the money they've STOLEN from our government and us as taxpayers and the American worforce!

[Heather MC]

32. I don't understand what they gain by robbing us blind, aren't they fucking themselves too

They are like the evil villans that always want to destroy the world,
so you think they have an escape ready to transport them to a mall of america on Mars?

[cascadiance]

33. They move to Dubai or the Caymans after passing through Switzerland!

[blondeatlast]

34. We're number 188! We're number 188! Someone PLEEZE chant that at McSame's next rally! nt

[populistdriven]

35. Why do we even bother sending retarded idiot Repukes to college?

I sent the topic info plus the zfacts chart:

and this is what I got back:

As we have dscussed before, you can't not compare checkbook type accounting to macro-economics. This statistic shows that SOMEONE has a great deal of economic ignorance.
I took 3 semesters of ONLY economics, statistics, and accounting classes. If you had any idea how banks worked you would pull every single cent you have in the bank and put it under your pillow at home.

Why wold he CIA be giving statistics like this to Obama? Did this happen to come from "moveon.org"? Additionally, EVERY SINGLE country on this list owes us money because we lent it to them for one reason or another. We also borrowed from them.

Yet another reason Obama is the worst candidate to lead our country.

Nate

[shadowknows69]

36. This is why I have to openly laugh

Whenever someone describes us as the richest nation in the world
