lol National Debt
$14,375,000,000
That is how much we (US) owe. If everyone, man, woman and child, contributed to pay this off, everyone would pay $46,171. (http://www.usdebtclock.org/)
Crazy huh? Discuss how much money you owe people.

I don't owe anyone anything. It would take a while for my family to pay all that!

Maybe if the USA wasn't lazy and made their own stuff this wouldn't be a problem.

Yea. Unfortunately for us, we happen to be the pigs of the world, the world's biggest consumers...

Keep in mind, only a few countries who borrowed money from the US are actually capable of paying it back. A lot of poor countries in Africa have borrowed money from "rich" countries, but they can't pay it back and keep their economies running at the same time. It's quite sad, really.
It's basically lose-lose: if the US clears all the other countries' debts, there's no way their own debt will ever get better. But if they keep going the way they are now, the poor countries will remain poor...
What a world we live in...
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: lol National Debt
Guess what it was in 2000: 3.4 trillion. In 11 years we've risen almost 11 trillion dollars. Yikes.
