>>403509Sweet, thanks. I was having a difficult time finding it by myself.
LETS VOTE FOR A DUMB NIGGER HE'LL DEFINETELY SOLVE THIS MONEY ISSUE WE'RE HAVING!
>>403725Trolling attempt, unsuccessful. 0/10
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
WOOT GO AMARIKA!we's good rite? 188? that's bigger than the other ones!
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.
China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Norway, Kuwait, UAE = OIL OIL OILJapan, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden = Develops alot of shit, smart leaders.
I don't quite get it I mean Germany has billions in debt too.maybe this means that the sum of the money that countries like america own germany is bigger than the amount germany owns other countries.
>>403779>> ...Germany... ...smart leaders...FAIL!I am near Berlin and these shitcunts of politicans only race from election to election without the slightest idea of what they are doing to the people, the economy and the world
Its not true that dk is on a 43 place.. damn sweden!But tho I like the 113 place. I wont destroy the fun for u.. se it..
For the understanding:English speakers look here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_account_deficitGerman Speakers look here:http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeistungsbilanzThe German Wiki got a great Map to visualize the Word-Wide-Account-Balance
Well the US is fucked, way to spend that money
amerifag here.we're fucked.
amerifag herewe pwn. look at that defecit.everyone complains and says, omg bush.....war.......chinese......zomg.....fail! that defecit is nothing compared to a little while ago. it was somewhere around 1 trillion, with our world wide debt, even to ourselves in this country is 12 trillion. our gdp is around 14 trillion so we slowly climb out. depending on what the next pres does, we'll see.
Who do you think I beginning to hate living in America?
This is fake. Canada is billions of dollars in dept...
Debt isn't so bad, after all, they say you need money to make money. If only we could spend it on the economy and the people instead of wars and shit.
>>404174FUCK PEOPLE
>>404156Uh, what?
america is poop :(
Proud dutchfag :)
amurikaFUCK YEAH
>>403738Uhm actually most money is borrowed from China.
I live in #17 and they've given us huge tax cuts for the past 2 years because of their surplus. Money can actually be spent on yourself here :D
>>404174Thats my Opinion too. I hope anyone did see in the last Days the HR-Image "Where the Taxmoney go" and wonder why the defense-part is so huge.
#157 here ...and caremug is empty :D
>>403736Negative 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...
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.
I'm in the third position :p pretty well.
>>404253Government 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 plasmasThis is extremely relevant to how the country works:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_disease
NewFag here ^_^OP, if this was a screenshot, how did you make that tall ?Or you combined several screenshots together ?
ITT, people who understand economics and people who don't (children)
>>404278Several tools do this for you, such as faststone screen capture (www.faststone.org). You just run it and then tick something like.. scrolling screen capture or something. Ez mode.
Winland, 24.Population- 2008 estimate 5,318,196is this awesome?
France, not so bad !
Germany, fuck yeah!
Poor credit circulating through the US is forcing people away from collegesThe education system is failing, and people wonder whyUm, cause it's expensive as fuck?
most of this thread fails for not understanding what 'current account' is. it's not the size of their debt -__-
>>404632right!see the external debt table:https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2079rank.htmlUS is winning again.
wow japan
#6 here
I love how Niue has a debt of 400k dollars.Like some movie star could move there and buy the government
>>404278Easiest thing to do, is to save the page as a pdf then convert the pdf to a png.There are also website screencapping utilities that'll take a picture of the entire page.
#3 here :)
If you think that list makes America look like its in a bad situation, you need to have your head checked, and learn about bonds.
>>404205Hey 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?
it will all be fun and games until oil runs out of the middle east. and guess who owns alaska. haha!
>>405969Then can you invade Canada?! We're #2 for proven reserves, and theres hardly anyone here. Also, we speak english, hate dirt floors and heat.Perfect pickinsLiberate me dammit!
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.
>>406011BINGO. OP = FUCKING RETARDCASE CLOSED
>>406355>>406011listen to these two fuckers, they know what they are talking about... no back to HR porn
>>406011>>406355Thar's ya answer, mah boy.
>>403779....raight :D>>404188:) yeaa same here
Holy shit, #9. I had no idea we didn't have debt.
zimbabwe has more money than america.
I thought the American government owes money to the money mills?
America owes money to the head hancho bank. forgot what its called. National Bank?Which is based off nothing. so the money isn't real but everyone thinks it is. so we use it.
>>406885>>406993There's was a thing related to this on the Zeitgeist vidya. I thought it was pretty interesting, though I can't be sure whether it's completely factual or not.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1817848131611744924
Ron Paul /HR/
>>406993The USA takes loans from the Federal Reserve, which is a private bank. It's run by the people who own your money. Rockafeller ring a bell?
>>407100Oligarchy oligarchy oligarchy.
Owe the bank a million dollars, the bank owns you.Owe the bank a billion dollars, you own the bank.If we default, the world fails.America...fuck yea.
>>407109>If we default, the world fails.Negatory, we just stop selling you oil.
>>407100Wrong - the federal reserve bank is owned by the treasury dept. They allow private banks to operate and give them license to do so.Go study more econ.
Japan is superior of course!Good thing I'm not an Amerifag atleast!Sweden is the shit.
My quality of life has yet to decline, so I'm not bitching.
Canada is pretty good considering there's only 30 million people.
That's the state of our import/export trading rationot the state of the U.S. economy...or any of the ecnomies.
