When the 1973 Oil Crisis hit the developed world, Mexican Presidents Luis Echeverria and Jose Lopez Portillo began to rely heavily on oil exports to support the financial needs of the country, taking advantage of the high oil prices. When the market eventually stabilized, the little diversification of exports resulted in an economic slump and a devaluation of the Peso by 500%. This is often called the Lost Decade or Decada Perdida (1973-1982). Three years later, the Mexico City Earthquake (1985) further deteriorated the Mexican economy, as Mexico City, which agglomerates 20-25% of the country's national income, was heavily hit by such natural disaster.

When debt is sold does it end a judgment?

No. The sale of debt is basically a repackaging of it. The legal terms are not changed. Mortgages are the best large-scale example of this. And this would be true of judgments, as well (unless, of course, the creditor is willing to forgive the debtor his debt - upon its sale).

How much did Reagan borrow from china?

During Ronald Reagan's presidency from 1981 to 1989, the U.S. national debt increased significantly, with much of the borrowing attributed to various factors, including tax cuts and increased military spending. By the end of his administration, the national debt had more than doubled, partly due to borrowing from foreign countries, including China. However, specific figures detailing how much was borrowed directly from China during Reagan's presidency can be challenging to pinpoint, as foreign debt accumulations are often reported collectively rather than by individual country.
