The following article is provided by the Caesar Rodney Institute, a Delaware-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) public policy research organization.
It comes from a Policy Center Director who works to help Delawareans by providing fact-based analysis in four key areas:
education, energy and environmental policy, the economy and government spending, and health policy.
As shown in the chart below, a picture is often worth a thousand words. Since the year 2000, Federal debt has increased almost 200%, going from 57% of GDP to 105% of GDP (we now beat out Sudan!). Simultaneously, GDP rose just 60% and total private sector jobs fell. Do we really need more Federal debt spending to “help” the U.S. economy?
