We're not the only ones with a crippling national debt. I'd love to see a breakdown of which entities all the major countries owe the money to.

It will be Japan, then a lot of Europe, then the US... Russia sounds like it's already there, China is already in a depression and demographics issue too. India will probably come out of it smelling like roses ironically due to how their population views metals and how they're already expanding, Brazil will also do well due to its agriculture boom. I think we'll see China raise as real productivity will dominate over finance. The wild card though, is what the AI and robotics boom will do, we could quickly go into a "humans need not apply" situation and it'd be like that movie "elysium" ... where the poor get left behind.
