| The Next Country To Collapse Isn't In Europe
Posted on 04/26/2013 1:40:46 PM PDT by Kartographer
look at this country's debt situation, especially relative to the United States, is truly amazing.
This country is paying 21% of government revenue on interest payments to support a 236% debt-to-GDP ratio. With annual spending twice as high as its revenue, the government is running a deficit of $455 billion a year and adding to its $11.2 trillion debt. This is all before the monetary stimulus programs announced recently by its central bank.
If you thought the United States government was a financial basket case, Japan is exponentially worse. A collapse in the yen and the stock market is all but certain -- the only question is when.

Well well isn't that a fine kettle of sushi.

Since Europe is not a country, the headline makes no sense.

There is no grammatical or semantic problem with the title.

This is like saying: “The next food I’m going to eat isn’t caviar!”

Sure it does. You are reading it wrong. Either that or it has been changed since you posted that. It says not a country in Europe.
To: Robert DeLong
When I first read the article on yahoo, it did not have the word “in”, you are correct the posting on FR is correct.
yahoo must have caught their error and changed the title.

Not really because you are stating a particular food. If you said the next food I will eat will not be a prtein then your statement would be similar.

Oh okay, confusion understood.
To: Robert DeLong
Oh? So caviar is a country, and protein a continent? I gotcha!

I knew it had to be Japan with Prime Minister Abe printing like he was Bernanke.

"...In Europe"

So the headline makes sense after all.

What you got is a bad attitude, but hey who cares. Not me.
To: Kartographer
With economic collapse and increasing conflicts with China how far can it be before Japan begins an internal fomenting for militarization and political chauvinism not unlike its ultra-nationalist past?

An economic collapse in Japan? Maybe the yen at 500 to a dollar?
PARTY TIME!

One counterargument for Japan is they owe it to themselves. Japanese have always been enthusiastic buyers of their Gov’t debt. Now they will just buy more without being annoyed. Japan has good national unity unlike America and 99% of the people who live there are Japanese. Culturally they can handle this huge QE and very high debt levels
