The US budget deficit is $4t and the national debt and liabilites another $15trillion and growing.
Most importantly - with GDP at $18trillion this means they are going backwards - like someone unable to pay their minimum monthly mortgage
this is the reaosn why Stan Druckenmiller is pounding the table on buying gold - not because of short term gold price shifts - but because he thinks the US gov't budget situation is unsustainable and will result in some fairly big system shocks by 2020
