I apologize for linking to the tabloid world of Fox news, but the
title of this story seems to me to represent everything that is absurd
about the reasoning of the deficit hawk loonies.

I mean how does it make any sense to even ask if the whole world is
broke? Is this not some kind of a weird fallacy?

When we say an entity is broke or insolvent, we mean that the
liabilities of that entity exceed the value of its assets?

Is it not then an accounting identity that the liabilities of the
whole world must necessarily equal its assets?
