A Historical Perspective on U.S. Debt - Seeking Alpha A good article about the US debt problem. During the 40s, US debt has surpassed GDP. Right now, US debt is like 90%? of GDP? I don't think it'll be an issue to increase the debt ceiling, but I'm afraid the politicians will use this as a weapon politically instead.
