This is extremely shocking to me. US is selling half of Hawaii to Canada to repay the deficit? I personally think that Hawaii is a valuable land for military and tourism. There is no way that US will sell this piece of land. There might be rumors but I don't think this will ever go through.

However, if this really is the deal, I can say is US is in major trouble with their deficit. Watch out for the stock market for tomorrow.
