Debt in Japan Actually 492% of GDP! UK 497% of GDP!

That's right. You read that title correctly. A chart released by the giant blood sucking vampire squid, Goldman Sachs, says that when you combine "government, business, banking and household debt, the true scope of a country's obligations." This chart is truly shocking. 


But first, watch this video of a sinking ship and you'll get the idea of what I'm talking about here:




You back? OK. Well, the video is relative because, first; the passengers are oblivious to dangers coming (the passengers represent us "the people"). Second; when the ship started sinking, the captain and crew were splitting. The captain & the crew represent our politicians and bankers.


Not a pretty picture. People going along, as usual, in their ignorant bliss. The "leaders" knowing full well what's going on but trying to get out with what they can, while they can! The only difference between the sinking ship and the economy is there won't be any rescue coming for us.


While the entire world watches Greece and Italy, it seems, from looking at this chart, the real action is the UK, Japan, Spain and France. 



Business, government and household debt in Japan show a 492% of GDP problem for Japan. The tax and spend days are coming to an end soon in Europe, the USA and, of course, in Japan. 

This entire house of cards is going to collapse around our heads. When the collapse does come, it will come suddenly. Hope you have cash readily available and at least a few weeks of food and water ready. Because when the crash does come, stores will be empty in a matter if a few hours - if it takes that long. 

A reader sends in this video. Kyle Bass on the BBC saying that Japan is "next":

More Signs of a Strong Yen Hurting Japan's Economy?

One of Japan's biggest, oldest and most famous department stores has closed its flagship store in Paris.

From Breitbart: 

Mitsukoshi Ltd. on Thursday closed its flagship department store in Paris, ending 39 years of operation in the face of declining Japanese visitor numbers. As the first Japanese department store in Europe, Mitsukoshi's Paris outlet made its debut in 1971 and racked up profits by featuring Japanese language services and customer assistance in duty free procedures. After recording some 5.7 billion yen of annual sales in 1996, the store's business was severely hit following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, which resulted in many people refraining from traveling.


The Wall Street Journal ran an article showing China was about to become #2 and Japan drops to #3... Is this is just another sign of Japan's slow drift into irrelavence?
