  1. Well, lets see………Debt to GDP in the US has topped 100%. In the EU, every member has a debt to GDP in deeper triple numbers or worse. No attempt is evident any of them even pay mind to the awful debt level……

    Once a nation tops 100% of debt to GDP, that means every dollar of income is already spent……..

    Russia has a debt to GDP of 32%, they have paid down a full percentage from 33%-32% over the past 12 months. They have a budget excess of 68%.

    Who is in the stronger position?
