Debt

I've been reading about the U.S. debt (as a percentage of GDP) and thinking that they is in grave danger. Over 60% of their GDP. Mamma mia!

So I check out how they compare to other countries:

60%? Peanuts, eh?
Check out India & Japan and (gulp!) even Canada!

'course, there are various ways of measuring "National Debt" as there are various ways to measure "GDP". **

If'n you hire a nanny, that's part of the GDP.
If'n you look after your own, it ain't!

  1. Japan = 174 % of GDP! Wow! and the Japanese people aren't starving or becoming indentured servants or mercenaries just to survive and their people are better treated by their government and they don't have a major Christian population.

    Gee,if their GDP is calculated anywhere near how the US is, then we could have cradle to grave care & entirely free education through post PhD, etc.

    Imagine that. The US could actually Be like a Christian country should be!
