http://www.zerohedge.com/news/us-closes-2011-record-1522-trillion-debt-officially-1003-debtgdp

While not news to Zero Hedge readers who knew about the final debt settlement of US debt about 10 days ahead of schedule, it is now official: according to the US Treasury, America has closed the books on 2011 with debt at an all time record $15,222,940,045,451.09. And, as was observed here first in all of the press, US debt to GDP is now officially over 100%, or 100.3% to be specific, a fact which the US government decided to delay exposing until the very end of the calendar year.

Lets go for 200%!!

Obama will get my vote when he prints one big fat '15 trillion dollar bill' to pay off our debt.

The real way to fix the deficit is to give more tax breaks, and go to war with iran.

This is whay you get when you let Capitalism reign free and unchecked, with your head in the sand!!

Or should I say, unchecked capitailsm tightly integrated with a government that tries to please left+right (cause that's the only point of view you Yanks can fathom, simplistic ideology) at the same time.

What a mess.
Now if only it was your mess only and you could contain it in your local nuthouse, and not let it spill across your borders.

peace

Government intervention to bail out failing companies is NOT capitalism.
Artificially maintaining such is simply delaying the pain.
