So over 3% deficit means the financial shortfall is equivalent to over 3% of the US annual economic output (GDP) Debt of over 106% of GDP means that Americas debt is 106% of their annual economic output! Thats pretty terrible but a few Countries are even worse... the highest debt ratio in the world is hele by Japan that has a debt of over 230% of GDP!
