I wouldn't laugh too hard. The world's economy is tied to it to a certain extent as G8 countries own much of this debt.

They are also tied to the US dollar as a result. It is not an easy thing to unwind for these countries or the US.

Try comparing the debt to GDP and then compare that to most individuals borrowing.

The only differnce is the amount of commas. ;-)
