Illinois, more normal then the other dumb-forgeted states except for new york.
Damn loving straight, and don't any of you guys forget it.
I'm talking collectively for the whole union. If you want specific countries, just look up list of countries by external debt.
You don't understand how debt works. Disregarding that you're comparing nominal terms instead of percent of GDP, there is no interest rate pressure on the US government (literally, 10 year bonds are yielding nothing when adjusted for inflation) now is a good time to borrow, especially considering the state of the economy. Government spending has been decreasing at ~$60bn a year (yes, decreasing) for the last few, and that number works out to about 1% of GDP. Remember how growth numbers are next to nothing? Well a lot of that is because the government isn't spending money, and the private sector isn't making up the difference because there is little demand for it.
tl;dr you're wrong
