#1 Senator Gregg: 'This country ~~will go~~ is bankrupt'

FIFY Senator. You're already borrowing at levels that you can't pay now, or ever and still have a viable economy or government. That is bankrupt.

#2 P2K is right. Bankruptcy is looked at if you owe 50% of your yearly income and can't pay it back in a timely manner.

The US is pretty much bankrupt since our "earning levels" (see tax income) is tanking thanks to a depression. It will get worse. A lot worse.

#5 Sen. Gregg is a day late and a dollar short with his brilliant insight. This Congress has systematically destroyed this economy and its currency. Too bad there is no accountability for congress.
