Do these cases of government debt and budget deficit indicate potential problems for the economy?
Q. Does the size of the government's debt and the size of the budget deficit indicate potential problems for the economy in any of these cases? 1. The government's debt is relatively low, but the government is running a large budget deficit as it builds a high-speed rail system to connect the major cities of the nation. 2. The government's debt is relatively high due to a recently ended deficit-financed war, but the government is now running only a small budget deficit. 3. The government's debt is relatively low, but the government is running a budget deficit to finance the interest payments on the debt.

A. Well, the first two indicate government spending which circulates money in the economy leading to a higher GDP. The third one indicates a deficit not due to government spending. The third one would have more of an impact on the economy so I would say the third one would indicate what you had asked.

How will America repay $4 trillion dollars in additional government debt?
Q. Over the next 4 years, Barrack Obama will almost double the national debt. After the next election, will the Republicans be forced to spend $10 trillion dollars to balance the power?

Q. What exactly does it mean for the US government to default on its debt?
Asked by . - Thu Jun 4 11:26:31 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It means the US government borrowed too much money. If you make $100,000 a year and you have credit card debt of $5,000, you're probably not going to default on your payments. You really should pay off, at least some, of that $5,000 balance before you buy anything else on credit. But overall you're really not in serious financial trouble. The GDP of the United States is roughly 14.5 trillion dollars. And the national debt is roughly 13 trillion dollars. Do the math yourself. How would you feel if you made $100,000 a year and had a credit card balance of $90,000 ??? Personally I think you have a very real chance of finding out what's going to happen in the world if the US government defaults on their debt.
