#USNationalDebt

America’s economy is by far the world’s biggest. With a projected 2025 GDP of over $30 trillion, we have been better at bringing prosperity to large groups of people than any nation in history. We’re also the most indebted. In absolute terms, the U.S. owes more money than any other nation, and was recently downgraded by Moody’s. While this has led to doomsday scenarios through the years, the U.S. has not collapsed and isn’t likely to. Rather, we are seeing a slow decay in economic dynamism and living standards, as manifested in a weakening currency, higher government costs and worse services. How much the situation can improve depends on how soon – or if – the government stops pretending America is immune to fundamental economic laws.
