🚨US FEDERAL DEBT IS SKYROCKETING🚨

The US public debt just hit another RECORD of $35.8 TRILLION. In less than a month, the total debt SPIKED by $700 BILLION. This is $23 BILLION A DAY. To make things worse, these forecasts assume lower interest rates over the next year... Source: Global Markets Investor

The US public debt situation is going to get worse:

US net interest payments as a share of GDP are expected to reach a record 4.6% next year. That would more than DOUBLE World War 2 levels and exceed the all-time highs seen in the 1990s. This is also much higher than net interest as a % of GDP in all 38 OECD countries. Countries with relatively high interest such as Greece, Ireland, Spain, and Portugal are expected to reach interest-to-GDP ratios that are HALF the size of the US. To make things worse, these forecasts assume lower interest rates over the next year. Source: The Kobeissi Letter, OECD, Tavi Costa
