On contrair, inflation eats debt
However very nice graph. You can see the dark ages for missing figures.
We are now at the lowest level ever. Meaning ? As far I can deduce. Low levels of interest are an indication of a majeur decline and the end of the dominated country. So this marks the end of the US in world domination, leading to great world tention. After that, China will dominate ?
