That goes for the vast majority of the developed countries. I was especially surprised to find out that Japan's debt is close to 200% GDP.

200% GDP. I did not know that. Weird they always seemed like a fiscally conservative government... i mean it seems like they've done nothing even before the financial crisis when their economy was kinda depressed.
