You do realise most of the bottom negative figures are some of the most developed countries in the world, negative $ means they're borrowing money which usually stimulates growth and prosperity

1. More than half of the world owes us money. We don't really expect most countries to pay because they can't.

2. We borrowed all that money from ourselves. Apparently the Gov't can spend all the money it has and much that it doesn't.

3. Since the world will be ending in 2012 who gives a fuck.

negative $ means they import more than they export, so they need to borrow money to keep cash in country...

Australia's a two-tier economy: asia's quarry (West) and Services/Shitty Manufacturing (East). Take a guess which part of the economy is the source of inflationary pressure. But does the government simply tax the miners more? NOOOO, can't contravene neoliberal economic doctrine by doing away with all this 'target band' bullshit. We've got to let the miners rake in record profits each year at the expense of those least able to foot the bill. Otherwise we don't get our AAA credit rating from the same fucking shitcunts responsible for teh subprime crisis!

Labor and the Libs are two factions of the same fucking party.

Negative money on economy doesn't really mean they are negative. United states government borrows money from its own insurance companies. They aren't exactly pressed on time to pay this back and the insurance companies dont exactly need the money.

I thought Australia had a surplus...
>> Anonymous
SCHLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

People that import more than they export normally have a deficit, thus US (one of the world biggest importing countries) has such a huge deficit.

China on the other hand, export nation Number one (surpassed Germany about 2 years ago) has a huge surplus.

Government surplus yes, which only means that we have a very hefty super program (something in the order of $1T) and that we're being ratty on spending; but this is trade balance, and Australia has the trade patterns of a third world country - exporting raw materials and importing value-added products like plasmas

This is extremely relevant to how the country works:

Hey there dumbfuck!

We here in America have already thought of the most ingenious system of all!

We print our own goddamn money!

Like legal, fucking, counterfeit.

The best part? The world accepts it and values it...

Want to know why? Because you HAVE TO HAVE AMERICAN DOLLARS TO BUY OIL.

Still wondering why America seems so god-damned stuck to the pump?

Ok, now take those figures as a percentage of GDP, and you'll see that America sits near the middle. We're just so huge that comparatively slight debts make us look (to the rest of the world) like we're about to implode. Which is not the case.
