So how are you going to pay the check?

Congratulations Americans. Each and everyone of you owes the world $US 66,474 as of today. This comes to a total bill of $US 21.69 TRILLION. (Just to compare thats about 150% of what Greece owes) And sadly printing $US to cover it wont wash.. You need to sell stuff that people overseas want to buy. Thats how foreign trade works.
So lets skip over the circus of Trump and reporters and strippers and his fake tan, fake news and fake billions and cut to the real stuff. Other than selling off your military (I cant wait to see used Supercarriers on Craigs List) How are you going to pay? By the way, the numbers have gone backwards by over a $Trillion since Trump took office and budget projections will add another $984 Billion next year IF they dont blow out.

I'm sorry but not even if we sell stuff overseas will help. We're in a permanent state of bankruptcy. It doesn't matter who the president is, it is impossible to pay back the FR because of how it operates.

@xRedx I completely agree.. You understand the situation. But sooner or later those nations are going to demand payment and stop trading with America until they work out a deal. America can feed itself, luckily. But their lifestyles are largely dependent on imports. They would even have to import the machinery to restart making home grown products and the comparative costs would bankrupt most households. A Fridge or TV could triple in price.,
