发帖数: 29846 | 1 Last week, total US debt was a meager $17,963,753,617,957.26. Two days later
, as updated today, on Black Friday, total outstanding US public debt just
hit a new historic level which probably would be better associated with a
red color: as of the last work day of November, total US public debt just
surpassed $18 trillion for the first time, or $18,005,549,328,561.45 to be
precise, of which debt held by the public rose to $12,922,681,725,432.94, an
increase of $32 billion in one day.
It also means that total US debt to nominal GDP as of Sept 30, which was $17
.555 trillion, is now 103%. Keep in mind this GDP number was artificially
increased by about half a trillion dollars a year ago thanks to the "benefit
" of R&D and intangibles. Without said definitional change, debt/GDP would
now be about 106%.
It also means that total US debt has increased by 70% under Obama, from $10.
625 trillion on January 21, 2009 to $18.005 trillion most recently.
And now we wait for the US to become Spain, and add the estimated "
contribution" from hookers and blow to GDP, once again pushing the total
debt/GDP ratio below the psychological 100% level. |
