Adding government debt to private debt and then claiming the American people are in debt is just a little bit (okay, a lot dishonest). And discussing debt without including assets is pointless.
I borrowed $100 from my wife's purse to buy a savings bond. Therefore, US / private debt just went up $200! We're DOOMED!
How's that for goldbug math?
