I think the US should start selling off some of its public land and other stuff to pay down the debit.
I mean the US net worth is in the plus. So lets reduce or eliminate this burden by getting rid of all the excess stuff. You know like a giant garage sale.

Good idea but the WSJ reported this past week that big ranches out west were taking three or four years to sell. The Hollywood types apparently are tired of putting up hay.

"I mean the US net worth is in the plus."

1. You may be under esitmating the net present value of the unfunded liabilities.
2. You may be over estimating the price of the land when sold in a forced sale.
3. And you may be greatly over estimating how many Americans would consider selling such a huge chunk of America to foreigners.
4. And you may be dramatically over estimating how many Americans would be willing turn their own cash into land where foreigners own more of America than Americans.
5. A lot of Americans would be asking, "Just whose country is it? And whose country is it going to be?"
