8. US Debt (not deficit) as a % of gdp - chart
http://zfacts.com/p/318.html

Let's see, US debt as a percentage of gdp is currently about the same as it was under Ike. Under Clinton, it was about where it was under Kennedy. This is a crisis that necessitates - Social Security reform?

Nope. But that's the bull they want to sell you, in order to take from the (relatively) poor to give to the rich.

Look up the data for yourselves. There's no crisis, but the dominance of the crisis meme is astonishingly Orwellian.
