When you owe the bank a million dollars, you have a problem. When you owe the bank 29 billion dollars, the bank has a problem.

Cute, but totally irrelevant. Microsoft has the money and the US government clearly has the ability to get the money.

It’s not irrelevant, go get your coffee you’re being rude.

[tekla]

Completely irrelevant. A bank and the Govt are not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination

[vpribish]

I think the level of rudeness was carefully calibrated and perfectly appropriate.

The government isn't like a bank they can print their own money and issue nearly infinite debt. $29B is a lot but it's it's a blip in the annual budget of the government. Generals sneeze and spend a billion dollars.
