Instead, we must increase the GDP per capita in order to create an absurd bubble. Like Latvia. Yes, we must follow Latvia's path of progress.

Several sources where America is 11th place and lower.

The Swedish GDPpc is about 60k. Sweden is more than 30 times smaller. Also, the American GDPpc is decreasing.

Actually it's 43k according to the World Bank and 41k according to the IMF.

And country size is entirely irrelevant. Do you even know what per capita means?

It will if the debt continues to increase.

Yeah, because, guess what: each American is supported somehow by all other states, and vice verca.

No it won't. The US isn't experiencing mass unemployment, huge increases in social welfare usage, widespread tax evasion, and a lack of investor confidence.

It can happen, but I doubt it will be anytime soon, if it does.

Because Crete, the Peloponnese, and Chalkidike have announced their intent to secede from Greece due to the economic crisis, amirite?

Still waiting for an answer.

Nominal figures are irrelevant. l2debt as a % of GDP. The US survived WW2, it can survive this quite easily.

I know, I was agreeing. If we really put our back into it, we could clear the debt in a year or two

And just as always, it will increase because Republicans will be voted into office again and again.

The two-party system is probably the most ridiculous thing ever.

Not that there's any reason to, of course.

Is Crete, the Peloponnese and Chalkidike states? Do they basically have their own country within a country? No, didn't think so.

Dissolve United States?
