    U.S. debt is now equal to economy
    http://www.usatoday.com/news/was…

    The soaring national debt has reached a symbolic tipping point: It's now as big as the entire U.S. economy.

    The amount of money the federal government owes to its creditors, combined with IOUs to government retirement and other programs, now tops $15.23 trillion.

    That's roughly equal to the value of all goods and services the U.S. economy produces in one year: $15.17 trillion as of September, the latest estimate. Private projections show the economy likely grew to about $15.3 trillion by December — a level the debt is likely to surpass this month.
