I was under the impression that the US debt is more like 14 trillion,
with Communist China holding more and more of the IOUs

I guess my 12 trillion was yesterdays number <grin>

I find it easier to remember 11, 33, 33,000.....and since my mental math
skills stop at three times...whenever I hear million/trillion I just
multiply the number by 33 which gives me a good estimate of how many
seconds....(I hope this makes sense <grin>)

thank you for listening to my thoughts....have fun....sno

Correct Scientific Terminology:
Hypothesis - a guess as to why or how something occurs
Theory - a hypothesis that has been checked by enough experiments
  to be generally assumed to be true.
Law - a hypothesis that has been checked by enough experiments
  in enough different ways that it is assumed to be truer then a theory.
Note: nothing is proven in science, things are assumed to be true.
