US national debt is only 10.7 TRILLION dollars. So, dump some more on and give it out to the people so they can buy more cars and beer and garden gnomes and Wiis and other shit they can't otherwise afford. That's what the USA needs to stimulate the economy – a big, national materialist circle jerk. Walmart will make a killing, selling you all that fantastic stuff made in China. Blow a wad on Uncle Sam, and you'll all feel good – at least for as long as the orgasm lasts! Then y'all will just have to get back to work (or not) to pay it off (or not)

Not to be hypocritical, I'm equally pissed at Canada for breaking their "balanced budget" streak… the Canadian debt hasn't increased for 10 years, it's actually gone down. Until this year. The amount owed per capita isn't really that much lower than our American counterparts (over $20K per person).
