Europe has massive debts, too, and growing. But this is a downward spiral.

Edit:

Average government debt-to-GDP ratio in the EU was around 60% from 2000 to 2008. It is 88% now and worse in many major countries. No lie here...



> Europe has massive debts, too, and growing

This is a lie, take Sweden's debt for example it has been going down the past 20 years. Most of Europe doesn't see increasing debt, USA is an outlier.

Sweden is an outlier. US debt to GDP is 110%. France and the UK 99%. Italy 138%. Greece 203%. Japan 263%. China depends on who you believe, but probably somewhere around 100%.
