What are some creative or outrageous ways that a country can pay off its debt? (might contain NSFW)

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24945points) May 19th, 2020

Like sell a mountain to Bill Gates so he can put his face on it. Sell national parks. Rename states like we do for sporting and science centers.

What say you?

Absurd answers and humor welcome

They can buy their president for what he’s worth & then turn around & sell him for what he thinks he’s worth!!! I do believe that there would be several trillions of dollars to be made there.

Well, they could sell kisses with the current President of the United States. Republican women would no doubt be willing to pay for the thrill.

And Trump could have a “Pussy Posse” – women could pay good money to expose themselves to touching by Trump, thereby becoming members of a fairly exclusive club.

^ As the Billy Bush interview pointed out, that club is NOT that exclusive but you are correct!!!

Get actively involved in the drug trade.
Clandestinely bribe foreign governments to give contracts to your corporations to boost tax revenue.
Invade other countries/assassinate their leaders to replace them with puppet governments that will give contracts to your oil corporations to increase your tax revenue.

Keep all the gold that other countries have deposited in their federal reserves.

Sell one of the States to Canada or Mexico.

Also have Canada move there border down in that they own several States, that way they get Healthcare and a totally new Identity too!

Sell Alaska to Canada or Russia?

We could declare war on Greenland, take it over, and sell it back to Denmark.

Patty_Melt's avatar

I would want to keep Greenland.

A country could whoop the ass of another country in a war, and then sell it to a third country for profit.

Have a “bake sale”. Legal weed nationwide for one week, preferably the first week after the second stimulus check. :-D
