America has 6% of the world's population and more debt than the rest of the world put together. Dunno if your figures are correct but you're missing the point.

I'll bet you a dollar he's one of the guys who think that only gold is money. [Edit: I'll go no further than googling Motley Food article on Charles Allmon, he was a bear in 1998!!!!!.
