Comment on US Debt-to-GDP Ratio

Comments

My understanding is some of it about 20% is intragovernmental,like borrowed from SS. Not that it doesn’t matter, but the 100% left is what sets the interest rates. The other 20% will start moving into the 100% public debt at some point. So it can get worse even if we stop borrowing.
