Which country has the largest banking accounts?

September 11, 2006 by in Politics,Random,Stupid with 7 Comments

According to the CIA World Fact Book, Japan leads the pack with a staggering $165,600,000,000. Yes, the figures are from 2005, but it does give an overall picture of the wealth countries may possess. I’m suprised. I would have thought that the United Arab Emirates would top the list.

Notable entry: United States 2005 estimate was a paltry $-829,100,000,000. Ouch.

    Totally amazing, everyone in the world saves more than us! The second biggest negative account is nowhere close!

    Yet an indication that America’s prosperity is but a sham. Our wealth doesn’t exist; our debt does.

    Compare our debt in 2005: $8.837 trillion (30 June 2005 est.)
    with our debt in 1998: Debt�external: $862 billion (1995 est.)

    10 years in that estimate gap and look at the difference. Mother fu**ing “fiscal conservatives”.

    The world debt is: $36.88 trillion (2004 est.) America has nearly 1/5th of THE WORLD debt. That’s a shame, a horrible shame. Why would anyone want “America’s money”? It doesn’t exist.

    It’s not “bank accounts.” It’s balance of payment – It includes things such as exports vs imports, foreign aid, services. The reason why Japan and China are #1 and #2 (and probably why all the others are so high) is the same reason the US is so low – they are the holders of US debt.

    My Home: 101 Malta: $ -598,000,000

    Now we’ve got a population of 398,534…
    That’s $1500 per capita. :s

    Still the U.S. has $2,800 debt per capita.
