Yay for starving South Africans doing better than us!

And why is it so easy to be in debt almost a trillion dollars... but so hard to have that much?

Paying strippers.

Time to pack the bags and move to Ethiopia.

[Greenstranger]

Don't believe it really.

Wow, you don't?
why not? what could possibly be unbelievable about it?
it's completely reasonable in my opinion. I think that the US is 800,000,000 in debt. Why wouldn't I?

[Frizzle]

Ethiopia used to be quite a rich country.

[Stryyp]

wow ethiopia is richer than u.s.

Not really, Ethiopia is a pretty poor country that if I recall, has suffered a number of civil wars. Not sure how the state of affairs is lately, haven't been keeping up with it. Saying they are more rich than the U.S. because their deficit is smaller is a pretty poor estimation.

[Funnlecake]

Well it is by how much you have, and by the scale of wars the us has be in, i wouldnt dout ethiopia being richer than us.
anyway in early civilizations, ethiopia was the riches, or one of the richest, i forget, but alot of gold and salt.

[Jotun]

Holy crap thats disturbing. How in the hell are we going to pay all that back.
