i can have negative money in my personal bank account, but a house full of gold. if all people can see is my bank account, does that make me poor?

as long as we have resources other nations want we will be fine. we produce enough of everything to be self sustaining, be it food, oil whatever. we will be fine. add on top of that all the resources and nations we indirectly control

the debt is meaningless. otherwise why does the government take no steps in paying it off?

if it was a problem it would be addressed. and they very well could be addressing it every time they buy another aircraft carrier, and more jets and more tanks and more subs etc

good point I see where you're coming from
