Debt Perspective

Nice perspective on the size of US debt.



$19 trillion in federal debt + $70 trillion in unfunded liabilities = $90 trillion. GDP of the world currently ~ $18 trillion.

If the analysis was expanded to include all world debt and unfunded obligations, then Lady Liberty and those NYC skyscrapers would look awfully small.
