Tricky question which is far more complicated than it seems.
List of highest mountains on Earth[^]
Greg Utas seems to have provided the most accurate answer for now.

Is it Mauna Kea, Mount Everest or Chimborazo?

Given how relaxed hawaiians are, I'd guess Muana Kea.

If a mountain was on earth, wouldn't it sink and its earth base would get compacted? I assume that the question ought to be "What is the highest mountain on Earth?"

The question is vague and must be improved before an answer may be provided.

Who cares? I am way too old to climb any of them.

Also this sounds like a "Sheldon" question. You've been watching way too much "Big Bang" on TV.

Finally, the mountain of debt the US Federal Government has created (lovingly referred to as the "Deficit" and created by both parties), is more insurmountable than any of those you referred to.

Slow Eddie. For those that don't get the reference watch the movie "The Hustler"

Back in the mid-70's when I lived on Guam (Dad was in the USAF as an aircraft mechanic) I heard some of the other kids in school say that a certain mountain on the island (can't remember its name) was actually taller than Everest if you measured it from the bottom of the Mariana's Trench.

That was a good clue - I'm surprised the usual suspects didn't get it. That's the way it goes, sometimes.
