Federal Debt to Reach 106% of Economy in 2039, CBO Says - Bloomberg

Federal Debt to Reach 106% of Economy in 2039, CBO Says - Bloomberg: "The U.S. debt held by the public is expected to rise to 106 percent of the economy in 2039 from 74 percent this year, largely driven by increases in the cost of health benefits, the Congressional Budget Office said.

To put federal finances on a sustainable path, Congress must boost revenue, cut spending on benefit programs or combine the approaches, the nonpartisan CBO said in its long-term budget outlook released today."
