USA's debt is from many other things rather then healthcare & education like Military and is a much bigger country with much bigger GDP,so they can payoff the debt easily
UK's debt is a much bigger problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_external_debt
also if you are wanting free healthcare & edcuation,you should look into economics & philosophy.When people are not rewarded for their work,they stop working |
UK's debt is also from other things I know because I'm from the UK a lot of it is to do with taxes from big companies not being paid and the rich using tax havens like Panama to dodge paying, look at your link the US' debt is bigger than UK, France and Germany combined. UK is the financial capital of the world with business transactions all being done in London so a lot of money is made back from businesses from other countries using our financial network, I can tell you this as someone in that industry I know a fair bit about economics and such.
Fact is health care and education are not the heavy contributors to debt like some of you are claiming as many countries with much lower economies have it, Libya when Gaddafi was in charge had no debt and had it in their system the country even paid every citizen who had a new born child 5000 quid so to put it bluntly the excuse of debt doesn't hold up. What contributes to debt far more than health care and education are all these conflicts across the world.
