Secondly, his claim is about public, private and corporate debt combined.

Which is why I answered

"Public debt does not compared to the size of the economy. Private debt? I'm not sure off hand, but "They're going into the 21st century like a poverty-stricken, Third World family, living from hand to mouth without any financial reserves whatsoever." isn't correct."

So you where the person who picked data that only represented the public debt. To the extent that your link is meaningful it supports my contention. Although I admit that support only covers one area. Not all possible debt.

But considering the "poverty-stricken, Third World family" claim, you would expect some data behind it. Its a rather extreme statement, and isn't supported by anything in the article or anything you posted in its defense.
