U.S. National Debt is currently $33.5 TRILLION – and it’s rising by one BILLION dollars PER HOUR.

 

At the current pace, the US would add $1 trillion in Federal debt every 45 days.

 

U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – which represents the value of the goods and services produced in the United States – is currently rising by $61 million per day.

U.S. Debt is therefore rising 16 x faster than the U.S. economy is growing.

With interest rates rising to 20-year highs, we are going down a very dangerous path.

High Interest Rates Make $33.5 TRILLION of US Debt Unmanageable

The US posted its 3rd largest deficit on record in 2023, spending $1.7 TRILLION more than it brought in.

The US is now spending 44% of GDP per year, the same levels as World War 2.

Based on these economic conditions, expect higher levels of inflation – and higher mortgage rates
