2. Not only our money
hobbit. Our credit as well. Remember, the full faith and credit of the united states, is what the banking industry is using. To the tune of 11 Trillion and counting. And just so we all know what 11 Trillion looks like, 11,000,000,000,000.00

A lot of zero's huh? We are FUCKED.

4. What's an other trillion?
One trillion more last FY, two trillions this FY, who knows how many trillions next FY?

Or who cares? They are just digits in daft computers, not like anything real.
