Obama uništio Ameriku

The US debt continues to grow, and as of Friday hit an all time high of 19,785,585,189,878.12, just $214 billion away from a nice, round $20 trillion, nearly doubling under President Obama, and worse: starting to accelerate again, despite the lack of any apparent economic crisis that demand a surge in debt issuance.

Yes, this country can handle the nearly $600 billion federal deficit estimated for 2016. But the deficit has grown sharply this year, and will keep the national debt at about 75 percent of the gross domestic product, a ratio not seen since 1950, after the budget ballooned during World War II. Long-term, that continued growth, driven by our tax and spending policies, will create the most significant fiscal challenge facing our country. The widely respected Congressional Budget Office has estimated that by midcentury our debt will rise to 140 percent of G.D.P., far above that in any previous era, even in times of war.


Throughout the campaign, Donald J. Trump has called for a combination of deep tax cuts that appear to far exceed proposed spending reductions, at the clear risk of substantially increasing the ratio of debt to G.D.P. Hillary Clinton has set out more balanced and detailed proposals, but they would still fail to stabilize and reduce our debt burden. Whoever wins, the new president will eventually face fiscal realities that force him or her to develop strategies for decreasing the national debt as a share of the economy over the long term.

With debt continuing to soar, growing by the third highest amount on record in fiscal 2016., all that would take for US interest expense to spiral out of control is a spike in debt servicing costs, i.e., interest. But that's not all: US government debt is just a tiny fraction of total US liabilities and future obligations. How tiny? As the following chart from Bridgewater shows, it is less than 10% of the massive stack of US obligations that amount to well over 1,100% of GDP!



So what happens next? Well, in a world of rising rates and soaring debt... nothing good.

pod Obamom američki dug se udvostručio, samo u 2016. je narastao za 600 milijardi i uskoro će premašiti brojku od 20 trilijuna dolara, to je 20 sa 12 nula iza sebe

no to nije sve, stvarne obveze američke vlade kroz sljedećih nekoliko desetljeća iznose preko 1000% BDPa

vlasnik većine državnog duga u obliku državnih obveznica je FED, koji kupuje sve obveznice koje se prodaju na tržištu

nedavno je FED digao kamatnu stopu sa 0.25% na 0.5% što je udvostručilo cijenu po kojoj se Amerika zadužuje, ako FED još digne stope, ili ako one izmaknu kontroli dug se više neće moći otplatiti, te će Amerika neslavno bankrotirati pod silnom težinom ogromnog duga

ne preostaje ništa drugo nego ukinuti socijalu i javno zdravstvo, prekinuti ratove u svijetu, prestati trošiti na vojsku itd.

vrijeme je da se počne štedjeti

ajd dobro, bar im je malo porasla i štednja
