What assets can your country sell to balance the debt?

I don’t know I am up for selling off Quebec.

Water management know-how (and execution).

And me.

I’d sell North and South Dakota, but who would buy them?

Ron DeSantis – actually I’d give him away. (And throw in Trump for free too.)

We could sell Bavaria to Austria.

Are you talking about government debt? If so, then your question is completely fallacious.

@Kropotkin Yes. Yes it is. Just tongue In cheek. Answer for fun with humor.

The US govt owns almost all of the land in the states from just past the Mississippi to the far side of the rocky mountains. But you’re not getting enough out of that to erase the debt. It could sell military technology, but that would probably be a bad idea.

I mean, no fire sale is necessary. Just spend less money. It’s not complicated. Hell, you don’t even have to CUT anything, just reduce the rate of growth in key programs to the rate of inflation plus population growth and the economy will grow fast enough to slowly retire the debt. It’s more or less what was done in the mid to late 90s and lead to a VERY short period of budget surplusses. And it was short because they didn’t stick with that plan, not because the plan stopped working.

The Statue of Liberty. Too many xenophobic, nationalist right wingers live here (USA) for it to be anything other than a monument to hypocrisy…
