One day after the debt ceiling vote: US borrowing tops 100% of GDP....

[Serena Elizabeth G]

Thanks, [constitutional] sellouts. You really helped us retain that credit score.

 

[writerchick]

Japan has 4.5% unemployment and 200% debt-to-GDP

Would trade

 

[littledogcb]

Yeah. 15 trillion dollars for a 4.5% reduction in unemployment is a good deal.

 

[nanna]

Of course, because it won't be long before we have 200% debt-to-GDP.

 

[I hate Citizens bank!!!]

YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO SAVE MONEY!!!

 

[belal50_53]

We've thrown away much more on defense spending and it's giving us nothing

something > nothing

 

[hiphopper]

its amazing to me how many people have gotten this story completely wrong.

 

[Taj]

Japan isn't as *multicultural* as the US.

 

[Syeef]

Even if that were true, which it isn't, it's a stupid argument.

Oh. and the military is probably responsible for a 4% increase in employment for far cheaper.

 

[roofergirlusa]

Except unlike the economic juggernaut that is Japan, we'll still likely have >9% unemployment at that time, and rapidly rising inflation.

 

[Doshie]

Bush spent billions on a pointless war, to fill his own agenda's pockets.
