CJR, I'm guilty as charged. I didn't know the state of Florida was in such a state. I've travelled the 5000 diagonal airmiles from where I live 3 times so far because my family is theme park crazy. So I feel I've made my fair share of contribution to the Florida economy. I have no idea what they could have done with all the money we've left there. Don't you dare mention the economy to my wife or she'll have an excuse to pack our bags a 4th time.
"now i know you're from canada (you guys still have some form of an economy).." Now, if only we had the expertise to do something with it. For instance, there is a quantity of Westcoast offshore oil that would even make a Saudi's jaw drop. For those researchers on board who want more quantitative figures research Queen Charlotte Islands and within the international 200 mile limit on the west coast) Canadian politicians are frightened to death of environmental damage and have left it untapped. (Hadn't occurred to me before but there must be a relative of Princess Ortega in charge). At today's price per barrel I can't believe something couldn't be figured out.
The U.S. debt: don't know how much a trillion is and hope our politicians never learn how to borrow that much. I believe your debt is 19 trillion? Huh!? Maybe Boss Kent could empty his petty cash to settle this for you and then you could buy KRY shares with the leftover coin. (my clever way of getting KRY back into the conversation)
