Default Countries with the Most Debt

I just did this little quiz thing on CnnMoney. It asks you if you think you could solve the worlds debt crisis. In the quiz you are asked which countried have the most debt.

I will admit, I got a couple of them wrong and I was suprised. What makes me really sick though is how much debt we have in the United States. I have no idea how we will ever recover from so much debt.

I won't even begin to try and pretend that I understand all of this countries money matters. Some of it is simply mind boggling. What i do understand is that we have bitten off way more than we can chew and I have no idea how we are going to get out of the hole.

You can take that quiz here...

WOW!!! I just took the quiz. I really did not understand how far in debt the U.S. was in. It said 13.4 TRILLION DOLLARS!!! That's insane, can't they just make more money lol.

I don't know if we will ever come out of this hole. Someone that knows what their doing needs to come help us out.

If we could just print more money then there would never be a national debt to worry about. Though sadfully that is not how things work.

One little bit of trivia that I have learned and thought was interesting is that in the United States there is more Monopoly money printed every year than there is of actual money.

This country is going to be hurting for many, many years to come. At one time the national debt was almost under control, however as you can see with it being more than 13 trillion, things are far from being under control.

I am sorry to say this but it is how I feel about it all. Our government needs stop worrying about every other country on this planet and start taking care of their own first and foremost!!!!
