It's National Debt Day! (again, I think)
http://www.cracked.com/funny-4136-national-debt/ Yes, I know, always take statistics derived from Cracked with a grain of salt, but let's take these figures of "13.7 trillion dollars" and "the debt will match our gross domestic product in 2019" at face value. PNQ1: Is it even possible for the debt to be repaid, or is this a high-pressure hose with no off valve? PNQ2: Foreign interests couldn't really repossess American property, right? PNQ3: If the debt really is owed to other countries, why are we giving them foreign aid without taking a "debt writeoff"? PNQ4: If the debt is owed to the taxpayers, why are we still paying taxes if the nation theoretically owes us?
