Ever have "one of those days"? You know the kind: The boss is screaming "I want it yesterday!," the kids have the flu, and your hair is sticking up on end like Don King's. Well, on those days, it's important to keep things in perspective. After all, you live in the richest, most powerful nation in the whole gosh-darn world!

You may have a run in your pantyhose, and the floor of your car may be covered with a week's worth of Styrofoam coffee cups, but you shouldn't be a frowny Frank. Keep that chin up, and remember that our country has more than 1.3 million military personnel on active duty and the most advanced weapons systems on Earth. That should turn anyone's frown upside down.

Well, its not the wealthiest country in the world...its the most in debt country in the world.

and it's also the country that's so powerful despite being in debt because it's been grinding other countries into the dirt trying to claim back the money owed to them.  not really much of a point being the most in debt country in the world when youre also the most vicious rent collector in the world.

Actually, Tio, that's incorrect. The United States has cancelled much of its debt towards other nations, and does not actively pursue its collection.
