The US deficit is only smaller than ours because they've been growing while our economy over the last two years has flatlined. The US economy is now larger than it was before the financial crisis started, while ours is still 4% smaller.

The US actually has a lot of real industry both hitech and low, they are also generating new I.p. at a tremendous rate.


Money doesn't matter when you have all the I.p. and some big guns to defend it.
