This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Nice to see our debt is being reduced. Meanwhile, the US is struggling to figure out how not to let their economy implode.
Un~~fortunately paying the interest on your debt is not the same as paying down the actual (principle) debt. Unless there's something I'm not seeing.~~
Edit: There was in fact something I wasn't seeing.
See “gross debt this year” and “last year”. We had surplus so it has been put toward paying down the principle
Derp, I just looked at bar chart breakdown, didn't see that.
They got is sorted mate. They printing more money.
