Well it does seem to be the norm -> http://www.visualeconomics.com/gdp-vs-national-debt-by-country/

Canada's debt is listed as representing 62.3% of its GDP...  Russia is at 6.8% though.

Now suddenly increasing the amount of debt the US is carrying by what, an order of magnitude, is no big deal? What an amusing change of tune.

:rolleyes:

I don't think anyone can possibly claim its "no big deal".

But it's not  exactly the end of American civilization either.

It is basically the same thing Hans was saying a couple years ago.  Funny how that works.
Funny thing is I never said that.  But feel free to make up shit about what I said in the past.  It beats having to actually develop real arguments.

Yeah, but I'm also hoping that we can't see the end from here....    :unsure:

Also, you never defended Bush.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

This is hardly surprising news. I think the swedish goverment also managed to make a profit on their bank bailout in the early 90ies.
