I'm sorry...we actually have a $56 TRILLION dollar DEBT. Not $10 trillion.

Interview: Fmr. Comptroller General David Walker speaks

"We have over 40 trillion dollars in debt that is off the books IN ADDITION to the 10 trillion we saw on the debt clock. This country is in a $55 trillion dollar hole...$480,000 per household."

Just wow.

Welcome to basic economics 101, why don't you take a seat over there on the right and try reading the book.Munkyman587

Small government is the only way to stop it...i have heard it is nearly 100 trillion depending on what you consider debt.

I have a friend from Canada who owes me $30. Does that help?

It's both their faults.

Republicans blame the Democrats, Democrats blame the Republicans, and supporters of both parties are too busy arguing with each other to realize that both parties are to blame.

56 trillion really? Cause I see about 10 trillion? I highly doubt we are 50 trillion in debt even off the books. Plus imagine all the money other countries owe us,.ferrari2001

And really, why would you suppose your doubt supercedes the factual opinion of the former US comptroller? :|

What's a "factual opinion"? :?

an opinion on a matter, based on an interpretation of certain related facts.

The government owes that money to banks in the United States. We never ever ever never loan money from other countries. Don't let anyone tell you different.cool_baller

Comptroller?

The Comptroller General of the United States is the director of the Government Accountability Office (GAO, formerly known as the General Accounting Office), a legislative branch agency founded by Congress in 1921 to ensure the fiscal and managerial accountability of the federal government.

Seems like he has little power to actually balance anything really.

Government spending is out of control.

Factual is based on facts, yes I know. But if someone is speaking on a subject that has factual basis, it's not an opinion. The speaker would simply be reiterating the truth to others.

For example, when I say the sun is hot, it's not an opinion. I'm stating a fact, based on facts, and notifying others of that fact. No opinions there.

i think that'll be including complete national debt including companies and personal loans, from what i heard that 10tril is just what the american goverment owes to chinamarkop2003

See what I highlighted. You said what we have here is a factual opinion. Key word, "factual". Then you immediately say, "it may or may not be exactly right". Well then, it's not a fact. You shouldn't be applying the word "factual" to something that may or may not be right. Make sense yet? :?

:roll: No need for that. You'll just fight with me to the death on this stretch of an interperetation you've got. I was only saying that you should leave the word factual off the phrase, "factual opinion". Just say, "opinion." That's it. That would be correct. I'm only trying to help you. But forget it, you don't need to reply to me, I'll let it go this time. Peace out. Enjoy your work out.

I did let it go until you just brought it back up. :roll:

Now, instead of just saying we're wrong and standing there like a snob, how about you actually tell us why we're wrong. That might help, wiseguy.
