lol...that was pretty fun. USA is a GDP beast.

Its a shame that the national debt is now bigger than the GDP for a whole year. Basically USA and every citizen has to work for a whole year for free to pay it off...

Here is a fun fear mongering site - http://www.usdebtclock.org/

But USA is not as bad as some other countries, like Japan or Greece...

Your public spending is $3.5 trillion?!

That's $10,000 per capita.

Britain's public spending is about £8500, or $13,400.

You're nearly as high as us.

I'm beginning to understand the Tea Party's popularity. We have to charge 61% top-rate tax to make up for our spending...

This is all correct except when you say "your".

I'm Canadian...

Our national debt is only around 500 billion ish...pfft...small change compared to our mamoth 1.3 trillion GDP. :)

It helps Canada just a *bit* that they're the only major industrialized nation who draws a massive portion of their GDP from resources. Want to cut the deficit? It's easy; just chop a few more trees or grab more oil and sell them to the US.
