This ratio, Govt debt to GDP, is used by investors, from what I have read, to measure a country's ability to service its debt.  This affects the country's borrowing cost and also affects government bond yields.  By no means am I trained in portfolio management, however, I would be interested in someone who is, advising if the bond market was a good play during the Obama years and likewise, if this ratio begins to come down, does the bond market respond quickly or does it take time for bonds to be a reasonable investment tool.
