As I recall, Greek Debt-to-GDP was about 120 percent.

Of course, that's an apples to oranges comparison for a couple of reasons. First, 120 percent of the U.S. GDP is a mind-boggling figure.

But second, and more importantly, the U.S. economy is far more robust than Greece's. A lender can have reasonable confidence that a successful businessman can manage a hefty debt-to-income ratio... and similar confidence that an impoverished family cannot manage any debt whatsoever.

So the U.S. debt-to-GDP may elevate well beyond 120 percent, imo, before it eventually crashes out of control. But that day will eventually come - because there just isn't anything standing in its way.

Bad times are coming. But I'd be an idiot if I tried to claim I knew WHEN.
