As you are all aware, I love facts and figures, although apparently I never use them???
Well here is another figure that I didn't tell you. So remember to forget that you didn't hear this from me Well, according to world renown Sydney University economics professor Steve Keen, when the US slid into depression in 1929 it was owing 150% of GDP. According to the good professor, the US now owes 300% of GDP. Now even I can work out that is almost double....yeh? Don't feel bad, I am always by your side, as the land from down under (under what I'm not too sure) owes 165% of GDP, which is more than twice the level of the Great Depression. So we are kicking your ass, just like the Olympic Games. Did you know that per capita Australia has won more medals in every category than any other nation in the world? Well we know it, it's just that most of us just hate to brag. Anyway, just heard the US topped $10 trillion dollars in deficit. $700bl sort of pales against such a figure don't it. Never mind, we can always count on Sarah Palin for a good laugh, she really cracks me up. I just threw in Sarah Palin, or no one would have read the thread. I betting on 2 1/2 stars. Unless Mark reads this first. He just gives everything one star, then reads it afterwards. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
