Manageable debt: To: stockman_scott who wrote (164008) 6/10/2005 5:26:54 PM From: Maurice Winn of 164416 <US Trade Deficit: $57 Billion for April > PER CAPITA that's only $200. In a year, that would be $2,400. In 10 years, that's $24,000. The annual interest on $24,000 at 5% is only $1,200 a year. So the deficit can continue for a LOT of years before there's a big problem. Out of an annual GDP of $40,000, $1,200 a year isn't the end of the world. What, me worry? MQURICE
