Summary

[edit]
Description
English: GAO Chart Forecast Debt % to GDP
Entitlement spending (primarily Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security) is growing considerably faster than the economy as the population ages. Under current law, there will be enormous deficits and related interest payments, resulting in the debt to GDP ratio increasing well-beyond its WW2 high. The historical trend in debt % to GDP is not predictive of the future because of the fundamental aging of the population and explosive rate of growth in entitlements, primarily Medicare & Medicaid. See the reference cited for this diagram for more info; it is short (7 pages) and to the point.
