1. Pretty sure most people don't even know where Denmark is so I think you're lying. Hell, the State I grew up in has a bigger population than Denmark four times over. How can your public sector and private sector be so strong, when we have to defend you all the time? Not to mention your GDP hasn't even hit HALF a trillion yet. One bad disaster and your country is ruined and you know it.

2. So? We can pay the interest of the debt without breaking a sweat. Also, people don't know that most of our debt is money we owe ourselves lol. Not to mention you neglect something called inflation.

3. Yes, they struggle because of 1. the federal government allows anyone to take loans out for any degree. So if a kid is willing to put himself thousands of dollars in debt for a liberal arts degree, why would a university lower the price? 2. Americans suck at saving money and investing. I know plenty of people who blew all their money, then when they were laid off/fired they went bankrupt and blamed America. However, speaking of college you can get degrees pretty cheap (~30k) actually if you know where to shop and look. For example, you can get rid of almost all your basic classes by going to straighterline.com for around ~2k.

1. You're saying that the country with a population of 325+ million people has a higher GDP than the country with a population of 5+ million people? Go figure.

2. No. I'm pretty sure most people know that. 30% of the US national debt is owned by foreign investors. You definitely don't want that to go over 50%. "lol"

3. Good job insulting your countrymen because they aren't as privileged as you. I'll take darkenergy's advice and end this pointless debate. I'm happy with the way things are in Denmark and you're happy with the way things are in the US. Wonderful.

1. There are Countries like India with over a billion people and have around 2 trillion dollars in GDP. Go figure.

2. The interest on that debt is so low we can make a profit in the long run by borrowing money. If you really are a successful self-employed entrepreneur, you will know it takes money to make money. As long as you make wise investments, you don't have to worry too much.

3. It's called tough love. If you are a yes man, you will fail in the long run. Also, I grew up kind of poor, but I didn't make excuses and worked my butt off. However, I do consider myself privileged to live in the United States. I could've been born in a third world Country like Syria, North Korea or even worse Canada.
