On one-hand it's funny. On the other-hand, it's horribly sad considering that national debt (and taxes, generally) is a constitutionally-mandated crowdfunding scheme.<p>Having this presented as an April fool's gag rustles my jimmies in an odd fashion.

Holy shit, this is the funniest thing I've seen all day. Although, kind of depressing at the same time...

Okay, put a trillion dollars of it on my credit card.<p>We only pay if it tilts, right?

It's an April Fools joke <i>and</i> an off-topic flame-generating story all wrapped up in one, and, as a bonus, early flags don't seem sufficient to kill it.

I forgot it was April Fool's Day until I saw this.
