vbnautilus 48 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 America's per capita government debt worse than Greece under President ObamaIs the point of this graph to prove that the more per capita debt a country has, the more desirable it is to live there?

hblask 1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 wonder why they didn't go with debt:GDP?It's an interesting question which is more relevant -- the amount each person owes or the percentage of the economy that we are in debt. For countries with relatively the same standard of living it shouldn't matter, but as for 'ability to pay it back', percentage of GDP probably is more meaningful. The per capita debt is probably more relevant to individual decision makers. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 it's not apples to apples even when we're talking debt:GDP. their danger zone is at a much lower threshold than ours. greece doesn't enjoy the advantages that come with being the world's reserve currency. etc. Link to post Share on other sites
