Debt levels around the world in a great info-graph

October 7, 2015

Below is a very telling info-graph that scales countries around the world to their debt level compared to GDP. As you can see Japan and a number of European countries (Greece, Italy, and Portugal) are the largest out there.

It is important to note that a high debt to GDP ratio is obviously negative for countries there are a number of other countries like Brazil and Argentina who are in trouble and have much lower ratios.

    I have even worse news for you folks – South Africa just whipped the USA’s bottom in their rugby world cup match which, as I type, just finished.

    64 – 0. Ouch!

    Nothing to be ashamed of – the Springboks are one of the top rugby teams on the planet.

        The USA played very well and, I have to say it, they did not give up even till the last seconds despite being completely over-whelmed by the Springboks. Some other teams may well have thrown the towel in at half time. Well done the USA.

        Think of American Football – but without the helmets and shoulder pads. No cheerleaders either.

          Let’s petition for rugby cheerleaders moving forward.
