We insist that 50% debt to Gdp ratio is very manageable for a fast growing economy like Kenya.
U shldnt be talking about the Kenya's debt situation as though it is the worst case ever, there are surely several other countries in Africa with much heftier debts, relative to their Gdp, of upto 100%.
Other countries elsewhere in the world are grinding at 250% govt debt to the gdp ratio, i.e. Japan. I wasnt aware about America's 500% debt, I am quite stunned reading that, cos all along I have always assumed Japan has the highest debt relative to the size of its gdp.
Consider that in Kenya, much of that money has been invested into revenue generating projects, rather than being expended on health servicses, education, or paying the civil workforce, the mistake so many countries have been forced, owing to economic substances to make.
I am not saying that health, education, or paying the govt workers are not important and necessary, however, funding for these using borrowed money is very unwise, the country is bound for bankraptcy.
About America, it doesnt matter how powerful it is and what they own or have accomplished. 500%? The size of its debt is extremely immense. Surely, even if they were to liquidate all their assets, their total value would not be equal the 500% of 17.5trln! Tell me what is that number.
America is not too great to collapse.
