After a few public rants that only the best of political theater could rival, actor Charlie Sheen last week lost his job as the star of the TV show “Two and a Half Men.” And with this loss, he took a huge financial hit, as he was making about $2 million per episode. But Sheen’s monetary woes pale in comparison to those of the United States. The U.S. is so broke that Charlie Sheen would have to make 7 million episodes of Two and a Half Men in order to eliminate our staggering debt of more than $14 trillion. “Eliminating the national debt? Duh, winning!” said Flake.
