gutted.
its nice to know your country is in safe hands eh?
and a nit-pick, thats the US debt to the cent, not the penny although if you converted it to £, it wouldn't look quite so much, with your debt standing at £3,920,785,588,637.49.
you should be following gordons golden rule

For people in other countries, does your government have a debt? How much?
most countries have debt, its how business works. we only have £437 billion of debt, most of which has only been borrowed to invest (see gordon's golden rule). that is petty cash compared to nearly £4 trillion
The United States Daily Deficit to the penny
although if you converted it to £, it wouldn't look quite so much, with your debt standing at £3,920,785,588,637.49.
