On October 11, 2016, the United States of America, including all of its assets, was offered at public

auction.

Statement from Secretary of the Treasury William P. Compton: “It's just simple mathematics. Our

national debt now stands at something over 13 trillion dollars, and our annual revenues are insufficient

to pay off the interest, let alone the principal. When there is no practical means of meeting one's basic

expenses, then liquidation of assets is the only viable solution.”

Statement from Shiekh Ali ben Hariff of Saudi Arabia: “Unquestionably it was a failure to adjust. For

example, when Kinosaka of Japan made his breakthrough and gave the world an inexpensive way to

convert to solar power, we Arabs didn't swim upstream against the tide of events. We didn't bare our

fighting fangs against the Dentist of Destiny. No, we covered up our oil fields with public parks and

quaint little brokerage houses of gossamer gaiety. Of course, owning a third of the world's banking

houses did make the transition easier...”
