Japan is in debt but it is the third largest economy in the world and a developed country.
The fact is that many countries are in debt. Debt alone doesn't cripple a country. It means Japan will probably have to go into slightly more debt (not saying 99billion is small change.. but comparitive to Japan's debt it is) to borrow to pay for this tragedy but the fact is that it has the economy to recover from this.
Like I said.. if Japan suddenly becomes the world's 4th richest country instead of the third then big deal.
