Great more shitposts by economicly illiterate people. The US government debt is hardly a problem when the cost to service it is at historically low levels. At a projected amount of 544 billion it's next to nothing, bond yields are also at historically low levels (even without QE). At around 1.4% of GDP in 2015 the idea that the US is paying a lot to service its debt is just as faulty as your brain.

Oh, so 54.4% of a trillion is nothing for the US by that logic. Meanwhile the number is larger than Google, year after year which is now the biggest company in the world.

That's so good I'll have to hang it on my wall Cadaver.  How about we add the service expense on top of other expenses next time smartie ?

 

As for the trade question the total US current account deficit is at 390 billion (2014) or around 2.2% of GDP which is also quite low. 

So even if you were to reverse the whole trade situation which you economically illiterate idiots seem to think is the answer, it would be a drop in the bucket. Also considering the macro trends on a global level that's impossible. 

Of course it would be a drop in the bucket, the debt has been going on for so long, and the debt includes interest. You're not saying anything new. I wrote about this many times, and suggested great great great grandchildren of that nation will inherit debt. Still the US needs to save the money they can't even keep.

 

What needs to be taken into account when looking at this who owns the production facilities around the world, the US has about 340 billion higher GNI relative GDP which means the factories are to a large degree owned by US citizens.

 US citizens DO NOT own any factories not in their own country, and definitely not over seas in some other country.

Big businesses own facilities, and the people who work for them do not. It's not tax money that built the industries either. Some factories are outsourced.

Take Apple for instance. They do not own Foxconn, they outsource to them. As for the American owned factories over seas. It's the locals in that country that's employed there, and they are paid with their local currency, however that currency has been converted from the USD.

When the US citizen purchases industrial goods, like everything else, it is taxed, and the Government gets their tax, and the rest goes to the company. Their expenses are covered, and no, the industrial factories do not belong to the US citizens in any degree.

I want facts not analysis.

You would think most would appreciate that, but seems to be not the case. Funny thing about Facts though, some are Not PC...lol..can't have that now can we?

Nice graphs, but they are out of date Cadaver. 2013, a lot has changed since then. PKS2015  pg. 30 is where it gets interesting. At the same time, the ethnicity is not reported. 

Bei den nichtdeutschen Tatverdächtigen sind die Anteile männlicher Erwachsener ab 21 Jahren mit 59,1 Prozent geringfügig höher als bei den deutschen (57,9 Prozent). Männliche Kinder und Jugendliche weisen bei den deutschen Tatverdächtigen insgesamt einen Anteil von 8,8 Prozent auf (2014: 9,1 Prozent), während er bei den nichtdeutschen Tatverdächtigen insgesamt mit 9,7 Prozent (2014: 6,8 Prozent) liegt. Die Tatverdächtigenbelastungszahl (TVBZ)11 der Deutschen insgesamt (ohne Kinder unter 8 Jahren) beträgt 2.125, bei den Erwachsenen 2.324, den Heranwachsenden 6.957, den Jugendlichen 5.525 und den Kindern 1.329. Sie ist gegenüber dem Vorjahr in allen Altersklassen angestiegen. Für die nichtdeutschen Tatverdächtigen werden keine TVBZ berechnet, da die Bevölkerungsstatistik bestimmte Ausländergruppen, die in der PKS als nichtdeutsche Tatverdächtige gezählt werden, wie beispielsweise Personen ohne Aufenthaltserlaubnis, Touristen/Durchreisende, Besucher, Grenzpendler und Stationierungsstreitkräfte, nicht enthält. Für die langfristige Veränderung der Tatverdächtigenzahlen bei jungen Menschen (Kinder, Jugendliche, Heranwachsende und Jungerwachsene) spielen u. a. demografische Einflüsse eine Rolle.

pg 44^^

A minority of a minority can generate that degree of a shift?  That is not 'small' Inquirer. That is alarming when you place it in context.

Bei den nichtdeutschen Tatverdächtigen sind die Anteile männlicher Erwachsener ab 21 Jahren mit
64,6 Prozent höher als bei den deutschen (57,9 Prozent). Männliche Kinder und Jugendliche weisen dagegen
bei den deutschen Tatverdächtigen insgesamt einen Anteil von 8,8 Prozent auf (2014: 9,1 Prozent),
während er bei den nichtdeutschen Tatverdächtigen insgesamt mit 6,3 Prozent (2014: 6,1 Prozent)
niedriger liegt. 

@Inquirer, perhaps further inquiry into the crime stats in Sweden would be pertinent to your position...leave that to you.

Merckel sold out Germany on her perceived national guilt. 

Allegedly there's more thrown in the deal than mere salvation of perceived guilt.    She might send you a Weichnachts card from South America anytime soon.  (It's an ol' kraut thing, retiring from "politics" to South America... ;)   She started out as an agitprop secretary, fgs.  

And don't even talk about that Kahane woman.  I always said the Stasi has never been dismantled.

On a more cheerful note,  finally we had a sunny summer day for the first time this year.   Been out canvassing for Brexit / working on my tan, both went rather splendidly.   Having a much-needed spritz (bordeaux / st. pellegrino) right now.  Cheers  :-)

Wouldn't surprise me. She is broken from the inside. Recent interviews are nothing but a shell speaking a fkton of bullshit national guilt of the past as some form of excuse. Pathetic. 

No. I didn't. And this is what I think of it :

Good to read that the weather turned for the better. Can't say the same, but neither am I complaining. Rain is a gift of life from the sky. Celebrated with marvelous sea food , cheap beer under an umbrella in the warm rain and ocean breeze caresses. 

Best of luck with the Brexit campaign, I always thought the EU was a fucked up idea from the get go. Cultures and differences between are to be celebrated, that is what makes travel such a a pleasure. Now? There is little difference besides the climate and food, 7-11, McDonalds and fucking Starbucks everywhere. Boring. Cell phones, GPS and internet have taken 3/4's of the adventure out of it.

It's not about "racism', 'xenophobia' or whatever other bullshit shut down of the masses to keep them quiet and controlled, it's about how a group of people THINK and in this case, they don't do much of that. They are as rabidly fucked up as the KKK, and my response to that would be no different.

Lovely.

I would genuinely like to hear a Trump supporter (regardless of their nationality) discuss the outcome of a private meeting between Putin and Trump.

Sociopath V. Narcissist. The outcome is always the same.

i - vii - yeah, and what's your point? Me saying your country is a shithole and you explaining the reasons why isn't disagreeing with me lol. And where did you get the impression i'm a communist or in favour of the EU? 

viii - aren't you contradicting yourself here? you say you want to put up fences to protect cultures, but describe Hungary as a melting pot of different cultures that get on well together. Or are you meaning that because different Roma groups have differences then it's ok for the state to discriminate against them as a whole? 

ix - I'm thinking you're not very knowledgable about the media. I'd love to take an article from that 'independent' site and analyse it for you, but don't really have the inclination. Btw the only mainstream news channel that broadcast footage from Cologne was al-Jazeera XD

x & xi - You probably think you sound passionate about the subject, but as a woman having these kind of reactions you just sound over-emotional and hysterical. Also, shouldn't you be taking care of your husband and kids? You're on a sociopath site in the middle of the night, you seem to have or have had a presence on every mental health site that has ever existed as well as commenting in your various guises on many British and Irish news sites. Even if you only skim read articles and barely think of your responses before typing them, it must be time-consuming to the point where your family are a little neglected. I'm sure you won't be offended by this, since you don't subscribe to that PC nonsense.

@Inquirer, perhaps further inquiry into the crime stats in Sweden would be pertinent to your position...leave that to you. 

Yes, I might take a stab at that if I get the time.

Also, it's easier if you translate the interesting bits into English.

The only studies I can find about immigrants and criminality in Sweden are from 1996 and 2005, so they are quite old (especially considering the studied data is from 1985–1989 and 1997–2001 respectively). By the looks of it they both seem fairly accurate however since they validate each other (you'll have to take my word for it), even though the composition and number of immigrants changed significantly during that decade (an influx of about 300 000 refugees). Both studies have been published by Brå, which is an agency under the Ministry of Justice in Sweden.

The most recent of the two studies include all those persons aged between 15 and 51 years of age who were registered as resident in Sweden in 1997 (about 4.4 million people). It's a 77-page study so I'm only including the statistics I've found to be interesting and revealing.

Table of suspected crime (page 40, table 10). Standardized (meaning socio-economic factors taken into account) vs unstandardized.

Table of registered crimes (page 63, table 3). Unstandardized.

Table of people suspected for at least one crime (page 66, table 6). Standardized based on age and education.

To put the numbers into perspective (over-representation, higher risk to commit crime):
    - Men vs women: 3.5
    - Age 15-17 vs age 41 or older: 2.5
    - People whose family have lived on welfare vs people whose family have not: 6.1
    - Never graduated high school vs graduated high school: 5.7
    - Earning less than $4500 vs earning more than $40k: 5.3

I'll look at crime in general next. Even though that data does not specify the share of crime for natives and immigrants directly it should be possible to indirectly see those effects. High-risk population groups (North Africans, for example) that have grown in size relative to native Swedes should result in more crime overall.

Apologies Inquirer, I thought German was another language you may already know. Mine is quite poor and Swedish nonexistent. 

In the non-German suspects the proportions of male adults aged 21 or older are 64.6 percent higher than in Germany (57.9 percent)

6.7% difference based on the effects of a minority of a minority on  a national basis. AND, those numbers exclude the 'new arrivals' violations. Were those numbers to be included, the difference would be greater. 

Hillary is a brainless snivelling twat. 

Merckel sold out Germany on her perceived national guilt. Fortunately, Putin is of another mind. As is Trump.
