how is it that the USA has more billionnaires than ever yet the country's debt is in the trillions?

and the middle class and the poor can't afford health insurance, and can't get dental care. What do you suspect is going on? http://english.people.com.cn/200703/09/e… and 82 billionnaires weren't rich enough to make the list. The youngest billionnaire is 33 years old.
--------------------
Because billionaires are part of the private sector. The Governments economy is independent from personal possession. Are you implying that these billionaires should forfeit their wealth to reduce the deficit? That would be communism.
