Feb 2012

looking at the final summary, it notes 212b interest for the us, and only 117b for Japan. Yet the pictured stack for japan is larger.

Then for repayment, the japanese number is larger, but the stack is smaller. standing debt is larger in the US, but there appear to be less stacks.

Did I miss something or did they mess that up?
