US 62.5% (source: bentway) may well be a lot higher.
I have heard as much as 80%.
But with S&P, Moody etc determining who is solid or not - remember those re packetized sub prime loans??... -, US decides at their whim who can be trusted with credits or not.

One fact remains, those guys were are and always remained profitable.

BTW, 116% of GDP today vs. 106% in 2005, any idea of how much the US national debt rose during same time???
