....................so, what is the bottom line?
Will the massive US budgetary deficits eventually suffocate all possible economic recovery?
Instead of looking at the traditional benchmark of debt to GDP, let's look at debt to revenue ratio of almost
300%, it is just as bad as Greece.
Total revenues: $500 billion
Deficits in currenct fiscal year: $1,400 billion
I just don't see how the US government can work its way out of this economic bind without resorting to some form of default in the foreseeable future. No monetary policies can really save them this time.
Don't count on the politicians to do anything especially after the Nov 2 mid-term election, it is expected that no one party will have a majority in the Senate (you need 60 votes), US economic policy will grind to a total gridlock and can only rely on money printing (issuing bonds) to fund its massive deficits. |
