Ok, care to explain?

They're infinite?

[Admiral_Stones]

There you see it. U.S.A. is going down the drain.
<patriotism> I dream of a world, governed by justice and tolerance, governed by Switzerland. <patriotism/>

[karajorma]

and financed by stolen Jewish gold?

[Admiral_Stones]

You were all so stupid to store your money in swiss bank accounts... soon it will be all ours. Mwuhaha.

Ok, care to explain?

They're infinite?

Yeah, but when y=infinity it stops progressing on the x axis and reaches it's limit, where it will forever get closer and closer to it but not actually reach it, hence the wall.

And for the record I got an A in high school calculus.

Y = infinite when X = infinite... 

Exponencial functions don't have asymptotes.

[Kosh]

I stand corrected. Been a very long time since high school.

lol

[Janos]

I think the appropriate analogy is "one step forward, two steps back".

i understand that one.

quite an achievement

[haloboy100]

Which is why i've gone so far, only to stumble back even more...

[TrashMan]

Every country has a huge debt. They way modern economy works that debt never gets played off becoause other countries don't pay theirs.

[karajorma]

Which makes you wonder why they don't just stick all the info in a computer and get it to cancel large chunks of the debt out so that they're not paying interest on it.

[Edward Bradshaw]

Maybe they need to stop spending billions attacking other countries... ...

According to that site:

"As you can see, the largest slice of the pie, over 40%, is owed to the Federal Reserve Bank "

SIGH @ Federal Reserve.

[Unknown Target]

IIRC modern currency's value itself is based off of debt, is it not?

[Edward Bradshaw]

It is. The Federal Reserve charges interest on the money it loans to the government though thats why, apparently, debt owed to the Fed takes up the largest amount of total debt

[haloboy100]

thats why the Canadian dollar is now stronger then the American one. And it still is IIRC

Those are the basics...only n00bs ignore them. Ah..."infinity"...they use my symbol to represent it

I like Maths mostly because of Mobius, really

Which is also where your income taxes are going.

Despite being British, thats why I like Ron Paul (mostly). Its a shame he's a Creationist and (apparently) against Seperation of Church and State. Sigh. But then I dont get to vote in a US election anyway.

[Bobboau]

I just did some quick calculations and it's climbing at a rate of $16,108.10 a second, that's roughly enough money to put me through collage.
