Was curious to see the spread between the US National Debt and Real GDP. As we can see, the National Debt was sustainable prior to 2016 as productivity was greater, but this has since changed. How long can we continue this, especially with a looming recession aka reduced productivity in spite of continued deficit spending?
Just curious to see how the Real GDP chart stands against the National Debt chart. According to this, there is currently almost a 50% spread between productivity and fiscal spending. Is this sustainable?
