Is how far in debt the American government is, according to a web sight I found. Here's a good question...HOW ARE WE BAILING PEOPLE OUT? Hey Washington....YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO SPEND EITHER! Who's going to bail us out? China? Russia? OPEC? Sorry, slight little rant.

This translates to me that we are no longer a Sovereign nation.

I reckon we'uns is screwed! I heard on public radio a while back that China owned so many govt. bonds that on paper, they own us.
We go so far for everyone else. We're the watchdog of the world. We feed the world.
We have old people who can't afford medicine. I work every day so that guys my age can sit on their asses and collect a check. The government blows money on crap that doesn't make sense.
Keep voting for that two party system. It really seems to be working.

So if I owe the bank $1,000, its my problem.
If I owe the bank $100,000,000, its the banks problem.
Who's problem is this? All we have to do is drive the U.S. Dollar down to where it is worthless, and problem solved.
OH, Wait, that is what we are doing.

You can't take the grandchildren comment literally. By saying,'Your grandchildren,' he actually means everybody's grandchildren. If EVERYBODY sold them that could actually make a dent. Personally, I don't think it's as effective a strategy as renting, but I'm no economist.
