    Which part of the USA’s enormous debt makes it the richest country? They’re paying $2b per day just on interest repayments and have a national debt of over $30 trillion. At present the debt far exceeds GDP so I would say the USA is broke.

      Richest country in the world turns out to mean that a burger and beer plus tax and tip is 50 bucks. But our education, health care and infrastructure is a global embarrasment. And we are the ones driving the equivalent of ladas now. Russians now drive posh chinese cars, which we dont sell here because itd destroy our domestic market overnight. Its all a big joke.
