Apparently the United States government has a lot of debt. Who knew? The gargantuan $27 trillion debt (which is growing all the time and getting worse with each succesive president) goes to a lot of places. That's what my newest article for BiggerPockets is about.

As you can see, the debt is growing in an unsustainable and almost exponential way: Yeah, it's bad. As the piece notes, “U.S. debt was relatively moderate between 1994 to 2007, averaging 60% of GDP over the timeframe. This took a drastic turn during the Global Financial Crisis, with debt climbing to 95% of GDP by 2012. For more anaylsis (and cool charts) check the article out!
