Lemme apply a bit of math. A quick google shows that the U.S. has
invested 113 billion. Australia has invested 688 million.
I know that millions, billions and trillions just sound like words, but:
688,000,000/113,000,000,000 equals .006 or .6% of our "contribution".
Here`s some more interesting math Ed. The U.S. population is roughly
336,000,000. Our national debt is roughly 33,000,000,000,000.
Every man, woman and child owes it over $98,000 bucks.
Keep on spending! Can you say catastrophe and Yuan all at once?
Anyone, and I know many will, feel free to check my math.
I`ve been wrong before.
