lets have a rational discussion about us debt, page-60

sky your right
$4,456,005m/$387,995m
is 11.4
not 114

in anycase the coverage is still healthy

in the business world 3-5 times is ok
we are looking at double that for the us government

also I think $7 tn of the the $12tn was for the bailout
now was that money just flushed down the toilet or did the US government get something for that

I think the banks have to pay a substantial part of that money back

if so us debt is more in vincinity of $5tn
