As one can see in the chart above, total public debt in the United States recently crossed the proverbial Rubicon and now equals 104.95% of GDP. As if this weren’t alarming enough, the Fed’s official figures – which were used to create the chart above – do not include the nation’s swelling, yet politically untouchable unfunded liabilities, namely Medicare and Social Security. When these figures are plugged in to the equation, the US’s public debt level skyrockets to astronomical heights.”
