Comparing National Public Debts
Sun, 10/19/2008 - 2:38pm | posted by Luke Brady
Here is a link to National Public debt on Wikipedia. With all the bailouts recently I thought it was interesting to compare our debt to other countries. While we are in the most debt of any industrialized nation (citation needed), we are not the most in debt percentage wise. Please note that green in this map is not necessarily good, but simply means the GDP to debt ratio is not as high.

If things are going to continue like this financially, we’re screwed and only a second american revolutiuon will clean it up.
McCain will accerate this, Obama might be able to slow it down, but not stop it.
I’d like to see how this compares to the tax rates on business, are the ones that have the higher rates also pay the higher taxes
Now Obama can go about making America at least as strong as Mexico. I think asking for LIbya is too much.
yep, China is obviously concealing its actual debt to gdp ratio. They certainly have the power to after all…
yep, sure. You Americans have gone on a crazy shopping spree by flushing your nation’s future down the drain. Now you are green with envy about China’s financial status……….How pathetic
Many people are tired enough of reading and listening to all the bad news about the never ending issues regarding our ailing economy and the national debt. As of now, many struggling families are seeking for other ways to earn money just to make ends meet. The best way to do is to teach ourselves on how to live within our means as well as smart money management or financial planning to avoid dealing with financial predicament. Financial planning is an essential skill to have. It’s vital to get some good investing tips when you’re young so that you can start financial planning for the future. The sooner you start your financial planning, the better it will be for you in the long run.
Well said; I guess we are the ‘unimportants’ that have to bail it out now. Strange what happens when the expendable stop spending!
