The chart above shows some of the unfunded U.S. liabilities. You have read here before that these will not be paid, not with real dollars that is...
According to a Bloomberg report, Bill Gross says that treasuries have little value within the context of a $75 trillion total debt burden.
“This country appears to have an off- balance-sheet, unrecorded debt burden of close to 500 percent of GDP. We are out-Greeking the Greeks.”
The outcome is inflation, currency devaluation and low-to-negative interest rates relative to consumer-price gains - if the country doesn’t reform its entitlement programs.
Previous Congresses (and Administrations) have relied on the assumption that we can grow our way out of this onerous debt burden.
