Not too sure that there's an updated chart out there since this one was made. But the margin value the US debt to GDP as of today, really isn't entirely different. I'm sure it's plunged a bit more since this chart was released, seeing as the debt to GDP growth has increased a ton. I also haven't been doing so much chart looking at/searching lately wither, but I do know that today, it takes $10 of GDP growth to pay off $7 of created debt. Hard accomplish a thinning line between the two when you really no longer have any GDP production in your country's economy anymore. It'll be quite interesting to watch China's GDP production here now that they've been crowned the new world super power.
