Poll coming...

In the meantime take a look at an optimistic debt counter

Flip, that's scary - So a £3000 quarterly VAT cheque keeps the country afloat for about a second at most.

There don't seem to be too many people concerned about deflation in the poll so far. Haven't you lot been reading the propaganda?

if you are a saver deflation is your friend - nothing to worry about in deflation.

Flatulation is a different matter.

I think El. Gordo and the US are more interested in protecting borrowers than savers at the moment, specifically in keep house prices from falling.

Another debt counter here, but for the whole world and with a slideable time-line.

May as well have been a map of the world's wealthiest nations. I reckon debt and wealth are closely tied. i.e. as some people get rich in this country, their poorer neighbours try to keep up with the Joneses and get themselves in to debt.

I don't know how it's calculated. Last I heard Japan were lending the US a shed load, while heavily in debt themselves, and the UK provides aid to China, but is heavily in debt to them
