Overloaded with Liabilities

Janet Kuypers
8/25/12

Now, I checked into this: This company
      with offices near my house
has assets of over six billion dollars,
      and liabilities
of just over two point three billion.
And according to the assets
      to liabilities ratio,
a common economic indicator
(where your assets should always be
      much bigger than your liabilities),
this company should watch it’s money
      and spend very thriftily until
the company is financially more comfortable
      and can then rest on their assets.

Now, I’m no economics major,
      but I just heard that the
U.S. Government has something like
      two point three trillion in assets,
and sixteen trillion in liabilities.

As I said, I’m no accountant,
      but I know numbers,
and I wonder what the U.S. Government
      has to do, before it can be
financially comfortable and we can begin
      once again to rest on our assets.
