When applying for a loan at a bank, it's a common practice to supply a financial statement. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule. For example, if you're the son or daughter of the bank's president or some other widely recognized individual, it's usually a simple question of how much money you earn and your total liabilities. For example, if you're making X amount and your liabilities are MINUS XXX. YOU'RE NOT LIKELY to get that loan. So it is with COUNTRIES! America owes trillions of worthless dollars and will be unable to buy Canada.
