Yeah, I guess you missed the part about the government having to borrow $2.5 BILLION DAILY, 80% of which comes from foreign sources: primarly Japan and China. Meanwhile, we exported $40 billion to China.

You said you're getting an MBA? Does that include math classes? How do you figure that the US government is borrowing $2.5 billion a day?

Did you make this number up? Or do you just not know how to multiply and divide?

I guess I'll have to do the work myself. $2.5 billion times 365 days in the year equals $912.5 billion. You have a source that shows the government is borrowing $912.5 billion this year? Maybe a source that shows the government borrowed $912.5 billion last year?

At the very least you should demand a refund for your college math classes. They didn't stick, did they ?
