The economy of the United States is the largest national economy in the world.[11] Its gross domestic product (GDP) was estimated as $14.2 trillion in 2008.[12] The U.S. economy maintains a high level of output per person (GDP per capita, $46,800 in 2008, ranked at around number ten in the world). The U.S. economy has maintained a stable overall GDP growth rate, a low unemployment rate, and high levels of research and capital investment funded by both national and, because of decreasing saving rates, increasingly by foreign investors. In 2008, seventy-two percent of the economic activity in the U.S. came from consumers.[13]
Major economic concerns in the U.S. include external debt, entitlement liabilities for retiring baby boomers who have already begun withdrawing from their Social Security accounts, corporate debt, mortgage debt, a low savings rate, falling house prices, and a large current account deficit. As of June 2008, the gross U.S. external debt was over $13 trillion,[14] the most external debt of any country in the world.[15] The 2008 estimate of the United States public debt was 73% of GDP.[16] As of March 2009, the total U.S. federal debt exceeded $10.9 trillion,[7] about $37,850
per capita.
it's either a total fuck up, or a carefully contrived event. In either case it's the same cunts at the top through greed that's screwed/screwing it up for the most of us.
