 The King is naked!! Can you believe this?. The richest, biggest and strongest economy of the world is slowly nearing the inevitable disaster. A disaster that the world has never seen before and can shake the entire world more than Atom Bombs.Over the last 50 years,the mighty kingdom have accumulated the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world. 30 years ago the U.S. national debt was a bit under one trillion dollars and today  the national debt is 14 times larger and the years ahead look absolutely horrible at this point.
Have a deep look at the debt statistics of United States
1. As of today (6th August,2011) the U.S. national debt is $14,564,970,167,709.38.($14.5 trillion = $14,5000 billion)

3. In 1980 the U.S. national debt was 907 billion dollars.  Just thirty years later, the U.S. national debt is over 14 times larger.
4. According to a recent U.S. Treasury report to Congress, the U.S. national debt will reach 19.6 trillion dollars in 2015.
5. It is being projected that the U.S. government will be paying 900 billion dollars just in interest on the national debt by the year 2019.
