Lol. You silly. The US has worse living conditions than most countries in Europe, and please do remember all the debt you have.

You don't account for 42.8% of the world's military expenditure if you aren't a first world country. Wink

Norway doesn't even have a real military, and we have won prices for the best democrasy, best living conditions being the third richest country in the world and a lot of other shit.

Yes, and it's also a measure of how "in debt" a country is. If you owe 1000$, but have no income, you're more in-debt than someone that owes 1000$, but has an income of 1k a week.

Safe for now does not mean safe forever although I can say not anytime soon will this happen. Soon enough some religion issues will occur and nukes will be launched.

Well, we are in a dangerous position here.
Even tho I'm not US, Korea has China as Ally, which has very powerful armed forces

For the U.S. public debt, if you include unfunded liabilities it exceeds $200 trillion.

1. Don't multiply the actual debt by 2 just because it suits your purpose. 87 T in unfunded liabilities + 16 T current debt.

2. Know what an unfunded liability is. All an unfunded liability is is a projection of how much money will need to be spent that, as of that moment, does not have a funding source.
