In the case of USA government, the debt is fueled by
annual deficit-to-GDP ratios in excess of 10% and a total gross debt-to-GDP
ratio of over 130%. 98% of the time, when a country’s gross debt-to-GDP
ratio is over 130%, it’s like a fiscal dead-man switch. All
that’s missing now is another pandemic, a war, or a deep recession to send the
government’s finances past the point of no return (if they aren’t there already).
