Where Does the U.S. Rank in Debt?

 Where Does the US Rank in Debt? The numbers are based off of the IMF 2023 Map. Somewhere around 2010/11 the debt for most advanced nations reached 100%. Emerging and developing countries appear to have a lower debt ratio (One potential sign of emerging versus advanced economies is the debt load and it may also constitute one of the reasons why growth rate is often slower in such countries based in at least part the debt overhead. There are other factors as well.) The U.S. debt ratio stands at 123%. An ideal number is under 100. (BTW. if you want to keep up with the IMF news you can join their podcast HERE.)

(I'm working on a theory of transactional clusters which mimic emerging markets in specific high investment and innovation locations to create net positives. Its like creating markets within markets for high need industries that are the root of other industries. It might not actually turn out that way but seems to be plausible. Currently in a slow grinding rewrite that which will require updating of citations/references.)
