because soemoen is going to pay 300 trillion dollars for the white house right?

However, I do see where you're going. There is too much expenditure on uneeded items.

13 trillion or so, I believe, but still ridiculous.

D.C. should sell Wisconsin to Canada. I could use that awesome healthcare system and lower crime rate.

Sell off Obama and Congress. They're spending us into a ditch.

And after that, don't elect anymore lying and thieving republicans or democrats.

The deficit of the United States is in the trillions. Mine was a guess as I'm not aware exactly how high the deficit is. I was unaware that another user gave the same number I did.

No, they just need to sell California. I'm sure Mexico would love to have it back.

Hell, throw in a buy-1 get-1 deal: buy California and get Nevada free!

Well, my mistake. In the "What exactly will the Healthcare bill do?" thread, one user stated the health-care bill would put us 300 trillion bucks in debt over the next ten years. (this number was shortly attacked by many users...) I took your post as a reference to that.

The house is only worth like 30M or so but the land is worth like 960M but still under 1B but that probably doesnt include the historical nature of the house and items inside.

I think we should put it on Craigslist for like 200 billion dollars, then when the richest man in the US comes up to buy it we kick him in the nuts and take his money.

Its only what he would deserve...he has enough money to buy his nation's figurehead's stupid freakinghouse, but he cant donate his money simply to help his country out? Jeeeeeeeeez

Buildings such as the White House have been designated as national historic landmarks: these cannot be sold.

I can't say I care for Obama either but isn't it a bit childish calling him by his Muslim middle name?
