Is america bankrupt as a country?

[limitdown]

Quote from brokenmarkets:

didn't know ireland, spain, greece, portugal, france etc were bankrupt. why lend money to gov't..the gov't can just cut the deficit. people don't need gov't..most of gov't is wasteful welfare programs..like wall street is is on welfare and gov't bailouts and war spending etc.

the gov't can't tax enough to pay it's payroll and interest on the debt!

what will happen ifthe US default on it's debt... as it stands, the US as country can NEVER repay the debt.

America broken as a country?,

too broad of a question and conversation, for which most of us are not properly prepared to discuss, other than from an emotional perspective...

whether or not, we are bankrupt as a moral institution (i.e. caring for the less fortunate, caring for law and order, caring to close loopholes for the wealthy that take advantage of the less fortunate) is a conversation we are all prepared to discuss,

but unfortunately, none of these discussions will help with trading the markets in the meantime, and hence are political in nature, subject to the influences of education, priviledge, access and affiliation.

I have noticed that these conversations go everywhere and achieve nothing,

sorry,

in a way, I am saying that these conversations are bankrupt....
