"And, the US is about to borrow more money than there
are atoms in the Universe ..."

Uh, right. My own body has over a trillion times as many atoms as the national debt in dollars. A better estimate would be a "bit" over a quadrillion times more atoms in my own body than the federal deficit in dollars.

The observable universe has about a google atoms per dollar of the national debt. A google is 10 to the power 100, or 10^100.
