Default

It doesn't matter the dollar amount, it matters the Debt to GDP ratio, which is much worse in other countries. the USA debt isn't actually that bad.

Think of it this way.. who has worse debt problems...

-a teacher that makes 40k a year salary with a 20 thousand dollar debt

or

-a doctor who makes 200k a year salary with a 60 thousand dollar debt


The doctor owes more money, but still the teacher has worse debt.
