Amusing that the U.S. is at about Greek levels of deficit spending.

One I think is worth noticing is Bulgaria.

Hungary is more significant. Major cuts.

Looks like Spain, Malta and Cyprus will all fall behind Austria in terms of debt/GDP this year. And the Netherlands isn't far away either. Time for S&P to upgrade us back to AAA.

You can read German?

I have no idea what that chart says, but Greek and the US are most definitely apples and oranges.

Franzl is German.

And: The chart on the left side has the 2011 Maastricht budget deficits in each country as a percentage of GDP. On the right side the Maastricht debt levels as a percentage of GDP are shown. On the maps, green indicates countries that are below the Maastricht levels of deficit (3%) and debt (60%), while red indicates levels higher than that.

Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Estonia and Bulgaria seem to be the only ones reaching both criteria. Oh, and Luxembourg too. But they hardly count. :P
