200% ?!?!?!

And considering Japan's volume of income (or lack thereof), they're in deeper debt than us, right?

Yes their GDP is more than $4 trillion, so they have around $8 trillion in debt.

Interestingly, almost all their debt is owed to Japanese people. They have big savings so the government doesn't have to go borrow from foreigners.

 

So basically, the Japanese government went bankrupt, borrowed money from Japanese people themselves and drove them bankrupt too... What happens next year, when they still post deficits?
