However, the URL you submitted is for the <strong>public debt</strong>, which is how much the public (not government) owes. You can take a look at the external national debt here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_external_debt Also, I completely agree with Japan's economic condition being very sub par. However, in terms of the public debt, one must realize that Japan's population has a higher saving rate than the US, so a large public debt is not of grave concern. Dear Jack,

It would be stronger to include other items including: 1. Access to natural resources 2. Access to energy e.g. crude oil, green tech, etc. 3. Science and technology industries 4. Manufacturing industries 5. Number of goods produced at home versus the imported natural resources to make the goods 6. How many trading partners/treaties does a nation have? et cetera. I believe this will give a more realistic image of what will be the next emerging, economic superpower. Interesting thesis, however the ratings are too simplistic.

All of us at one time or another have been engaged in conversations with neighbors and friends about some topic that we are just not happy with in life, or believe should be changed for the better. The ideal solution is to visit a Website that lets you do just that. It is also a good time to voice your opinion to the new presidential administration policies taking office in a few days. http://www.webupon.com/Services/A-Formal-Way-to-Voice-Your-Grievances.442641 A Formal Way to Voice Your Grievances For any of us who is not satisfied with how their government is being run there is a way to voice your disapproval and let your government or the whole world know.
