    tatonnement – if the GDP is that high, then do you know why the debt has been increasing steadily at nearly 4 billion/day for years.

    looking at debt as a fraction of gdp helps put it in perspective. the national debt is currently about 50% of gdp…actually less than it was after WWII. not that this is good, but perhaps less shockingly bad than people make out.
