Discussing whether the market will continue to rally and if there is a currency crisis ahead, with Jim Rogers, Rogers Holding chairman

I was surprised they would allow this on the state sponsored media.

Cnbc after all is NO friend of the “people”.

Hyper inflation is imminent, likely to commence in October but can be averted with manipulation.
No way around it though, what is coming will not be pretty.

The World’s Biggest Debtor Nations

http://www.cnbc.com/id/30308959

In today’s struggling global markets, many national economies have looked to their government and foreign lenders for financial support, which translates to increased spending, borrowing and in most cases, growing national debt.

Deficit spending, government debt and private sector borrowing are the norm in most western countries, but due in part to the global financial crisis, some nations and economies are in considerably worse debt positions than others.

External debt is a measure of a nation’s foreign liabilities, capital plus interest that a country must eventually pay. This number not only includes government debt, but also debt owed by the private sector and individuals.

So, how does the US debt position compare to that of other countries? A useful measure of a country’s debt position is by comparing gross external debt to GDP, which offers a direct relation of a country’s total debt to the size of its economy. In this report, all countries are among the world’s 50 largest economies, and are ranked by current external debt as a percentage of 2008 GDP.

Who are the world’s biggest debtor nations? The rankings may surprise you!
