I'm much more interested in the deficit spending of each state. As long as you're able to afford the interest and some of the principle on the bonds, its not exactly doomsday. It's like most people paying for their mortgage.
misleading graphic that just shows one side of the balance sheet. Yes, larger states have larger debt obligations. They also have a ****load more money.
This x100000. It's like considering national debt in a vacuum, without considering the other side of the sheet. It's misleading.
