Why not sell Alaska? We could probably get out of our $15 trillion debt. We would then save $1 billion/year in interest, and only 500,000 people would be displaced. Chine or India have over 1,000,000,000 and a relatively small amount of land. They both need the space and oil for their expanding auto markets. We could even make Puerto Rico a state and not have to change the U.S. flags.
