If I can point at a single thing I learned during all this mess (I mean the recession) which greatly disappointed me, it was to find that countries which I always saw as rich have really been borrowing a lot of money to fund their governments. 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.


If you want to see just how bad Japanese econimc woes are go read the link I posted earlier... Japan is a total basket case.  It is basically bankrupt.... 

 

Yeah, that sounds pretty bad alright.

Go figure.

Wonder how i missed an economics thread.
