The US national debt passed another grim milestone Thursday when the latest data showed that government debt held by the public — the most conservative way to measure what is owed — has surpassed America’s total annual economic output.

As of Tuesday, government debt held by the public is about $31.27 trillion, according to the US Treasury. Meanwhile, the US nominal gross domestic product (GDP) from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, was an estimated $31.22 trillion, according to new Commerce Department data released Thursday.

Already in this fiscal year, which began last October, the US has spent $1.17 trillion more than it has collected, according to the federal government, with the annual deficit projected to grow to nearly $2 trillion in the coming months.

Most of us probably aren't gonna get Social Security payouts at all unless something changes.

"Social Security" needs to be reimagined as "welfare for old people who need it" instead of a "payout."

Does that make it more palatable to conturds? I'm a social safety netmo so "payouts" doesn't sound bad to me

Or do you mean it should just go to people who need it? That works for me

They are going to abolish the income limit for taxes and then means test. IOW, everyone (other than board poors) should be prepared to bend over for a chill 12% tax increase with no offsets to pay for total boomer luxury communism.

At retirement you will get nothing
