I was under the impression that the US debt is more like 14 trillion,
with Communist China holding more and more of the IOUs

I guess my 12 trillion was yesterdays number grin

I find it easier to remember 11, 33, 33,000.....and since my mental math
skills stop at three times...whenever I hear million/trillion I just
multiply the number by 33 which gives me a good estimate of how many
seconds....(I hope this makes sense grin)

thank you for listening to my thoughts....have fun....sno
