Britain is transfering to the U.S. government $ 84 million, the last of it's World War II debt.

Reminds me of the WWII Bob Hope joke:

"Ya gotta give those British credit........otherwise they'll take cash!"

It took 'em a while, but they did pay us back. That's more than most contries did.

...of course, they haven't finished paying back their World War ONE debt - haven't even made a payment since the thirties...

Has any other country even made any payments at all?
