A worrying new warning released Thursday by the Committee for Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) states that the US national debt has reached a precarious milestone of 100% of gross domestic product (GDP), pushing the US onto a path that could trigger six different types of fiscal crises.

With the national debt now practically equivalent to the size of the US economy, the nonpartisan regulator's latest report, "What Will a Fiscal Crisis Look Like?", paints a dangerous picture of the future. The report states: "If the growth rate of national debt continues to outpace economic growth, the United States may ultimately face a financial crisis, an inflation crisis, a deflationary crisis, a currency crisis, a default crisis, a gradual crisis, or a combination of these crises. Any one of these crises would cause enormous chaos and significantly lower the living standards of people in the United States and around the world."

The report warns that unless policymakers develop a "thoughtful deficit reduction plan to promote economic growth," disaster is likely imminent. The report concludes: "The United States is heavily indebted, and its fiscal situation is on an unsustainable long-term trajectory." The report notes that while it is "impossible" to predict when disaster will occur, without corrective measures, "some form of crisis is almost inevitable."
