You're proudly proclaiming that you know little about the subject? Yet you still felt like joining in, because...?

I'm not saying "no country should ever take on any debt." I'm saying the US debt is excessive, and the money is being wasted on furthering the aims of the bourgeoisie, primarily through funneling that money into continuously arming the military and the police.

This map just sucks, incredibly biased towards Western "libertarian" sensibilities
