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

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.

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.
