WASHINGTON—The U.S. national debt now exceeds 100% of gross domestic product, crossing a once-unthinkable threshold, on the way toward breaking the record set in the wake of World War II.
As of March 31, the country’s publicly held debt was $31.265 trillion, while GDP over the preceding year was $31.216 trillion, according to data released Thursday. That puts the ratio at 100.2%, compared with 99.5% when the last fiscal year ended Sept. 30. That figure will likely climb for the foreseeable future because the federal government is running historically large annual deficits of nearly 6% of GDP, which add to the debt.
WAR ON IRAN MORE UNPOPULAR THAN VIETNAM!
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll from April 28, 61 percent of Americans disapprove of U.S. military strikes on Iran, up from a 43 percent disapproval rating at the start of the war, while our own damning poll found Christians believed Trump was ‘lying’ amid a huge scandal.
