U.S. Debt 120% of GDP. Germany's about 62% (?) Is the U.S.prosperity an illusion, given the debt burden?

How did this "Gets thrown in jail for unpopular speech" come to pass? Don't understand why the people put up with it.

How about violence? Does Germany have mass shootings just about every day, as we do in the U.S.?

Just looked up wealth inequality--seems both have extreme wealth inequality. Why such high taxation if there is poor healthcare and wealth inequality remains extreme? And homeless. Where are all the taxes going?

Interesting and rather sad.
