This is only the offical debt ($6.4 trillion), I have seen some
articals on the net which have been removed, putting the true debt at
15+ trillion US$ and that it`s all been hidden Enron style! Recent US
millitary expansion is the sort of thing that previous empires have
done before a sudden decline in power. The fact that US global policy
has broken into a sweat is a sure sign that the door is about to come
of it`s hinges.

Is it?  Do you think the "last superpower" would simply close up
shop and have a going out of business sale, leaving the world
safe for those who are currently afraid of it?  Or do you think
it more likely that the rulers of this last superpower would do
*anything* they thought necessary to keep the boat afloat?

But the US GDP is around 10 trillion, so... <shrug>

Actually, depending on how you count the "bean jar" it could be even
worse than that.  The governmnet has set up several "private"
institutions which they (we) are ultimately liable for in one form or
another.  And consider what would happen if a housing bubble surfaced.

See:  http://www.pacificresearch.org/pub/act/2001/act_01-07-23.html

This is slightly out of date since Fannie Mae has gone "public".  Is
there a difference nowadays.

Or how about these:

http://www.ginniemae.gov/

There are others.

Now they may very well have been established with the best of
intentions, but you sure do piss off a lot of folks who don't have the
same guaranteed results in the "free" market place as these
"companies" do.
