I'll go with crap, because we all know the U.S. has always been very financially responsible and does not borrow unless it needs to.

FACT

The U.S. paid Napoleon $9.375 million for the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 with borrowed funds at a 6-percent interest. The loans were paid off in 1823 at a cost to the U.S. of $23 million. It pays to pay cash!


See some good guesses

See ya'll Monday
