" So which corporation would that be, since you have been independent for over 200 years ? independent? is that like a sick joke? This country was created in bankruptcy and remains so today. Remember that little debt we owed to the king of england et al? Wanna show me the receipt? that is the: Thank You America! PAID IN FULL! Maybe this debt by the UK would make up for what we owed the King. And while the UK dutifully pays off its World War II debts, those from World War I remain resolutely unpaid. And are by no means trifling. In 1934, Britain owed the US $4.4bn of World War I debt (about £866m at 1934 exchange rates). Adjusted by the Retail Price Index, a typical measure of inflation, £866m would equate to £40bn now, and if adjusted by the growth of GDP, to about £225bn. Butch
