  1. Economy A has debt 100% of GDP, taxes/revenues are 20% of GDP.

    Economy B has 80% debt of GDP but taxes/revenues are 40% of GDP.

    The deficit is the same for both.

    Witch economy will best be able to handle an increase in interest rates from say 3% to 10%?
     
  2. Economy B has 80% debt of GDP but taxes/revenues are 40% of GDP is better.
