We're cleaning house around here.

Here's a chart we saved from The Big Picture in 2010, and never finished a post for.

The information is a little dated as it ends at Q3 2009.

A chart current to today would look even worse.

Total US debt to GDP from 1870 to 2009. 

From The Economist, A History of World GDP.

Click anywhere on the chart to call up the site, if you have the time go through the comments, you'll find some thoughtful stuff.

Thanks to Gary V. for sending this in.
