Default Help needed: how is the UK in the top 5 'richest' countries in the world???

When we are £1.56 trillion in debt.

The UK borrow tens of millions every day to keep afloat.

It cut £118 million from benefits to make ends meet??? Denies cancer patients a life saving drug because 'it costs too much'.

I am not an economist but can someone explain that? Thanks.

If bill gates looked at his bank and it was in the negative millions, so had to borrow money off others to buy dinner.. he'd still be the wealthiest person in the world..

It's based on assets and GDP, rather than whether or not the books are balanced.
