Haha what a complete bogus! our external debt 268% of GDP???, i dont know how CNBC got its figures but on the same source CIA worldFactbook and our own CBS bureau of statistics our public debt [would be plus internal debt!!] is about 283 billion not 2439 trillion? relative to our GDP thats about 43%..[Q4 '08] well below 60%
And yes we still have criteria for Euro countries, so i am not speaking about Bulgaria or Romania[member but not euro currency]look at the countries without the euro, a reason why Iceland wants the currency so bad...
even more strange is that the statistics of the US[and Denmark] on CNBC are the only one of Q3[just before the bailouts], and the others of Q4...Talking about MSM...

It could be manipulated or something perhaps a little off, but its also just a marker to show where everyone is at.
Dont forget, the USA makes A LOT of money as well, or have the ability to RAISE MORE $$ than most
