15 trillion GDP in 2008 with a national debt of 6.3 trillion.
19 trillion GDP in 2020 with a national debt of 27 trillion
I’d say the entire last 12 years was a total shit show if we want to play with numbers and try to play economist. In 12 years we’ve raised the debt to levels over what GDP actually is. Now, maybe other countries owe us 30 trillion and we are owed 3 trillion more than what we owe, but who knows. These numbers can be played with to support any political narrative if you know which ones to play with.
