I appreciate the point you are trying to make but have no interest in playing numbers games. My point very simply was
"That's nothing. You should see the war debt WE inherited for saving Europe from itself!" That point speaks loudly for itself, and is keyed to the original poster. If you don't get that point, then just skip it.
Look a few posts up. I included how much the debt was in 1950. It was 2200% less than the current debt. The current level of debt is much more than the level of debt after WWII.
If you are unable to read what I post, then please do not bother to respond to them.
