Mate, Get real............
The US National Debt.....
it's like saying you once lent $10 000 to a mate for plastic surgery, and now you don't recognise him.... he sure does recognises you.....I suppose it's like having a long lost brother from Arkansa......

WW II did impact on your Debt, but the late 80's and early 90's most certainly were the critical times.
The US National Debt is most certainly of its own making, no one else - or perhaps the Europeans have simply out-wited you ??
The current US National Debt is IMPRESSIVE by any standard, did I say GOLD.......

I have no idea about IMF policies in regard to gold.
I believe it's not relevant at this particular period of time.
What is important is the coming birth of a new European currency.
In company with EURO and US$, gold should feel better than just
against US$ only.
Just imagine boxing match between US$ and gold w/o rules, US$ beats
gold below belt, bites gold's ears, verbally abuses gold and...
and finally EURO steps into the ring to serve as an enforcer
of the rules.
