Current-dollar GDP
Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased
6.2 percent, or $204.0 billion, in the second quarter to a level of $13,755.9 billion. In the first quarter,
current-dollar GDP increased 4.9 percent, or $159.6 billion.
So, if you take the GNP at about $14 trillion with a ~3% growth
You still have a $9 trillion of debit

Unexpectedly strong revenue growth" has improved the outlook quite a bit, says Mr. McMullen.
In the CBO projections, for example, the nation's public debt is forecast to fall from 37 percent of GDP in 2006 to 30.5 percent of GDP in 2012.
(These figure are done with out the compounded interest of the foreign owed debt.)

Inflation rate (consumer prices): 2.5% (2006 est.)
Investment (gross fixed): 16.6% of GDP (2006 est.)
Public debt: 64.7% of GDP (2005 est.)
Budget:
revenues: $2.409 trillion
expenditures: $2.66 trillion; including capital expenditures of $NA (2006 est.)
When the public debt is a higher % of the GDP and investment is a lower % of the GDP, and expenditures are greater than revenues, we have an "negative economic imbalance"
So, that is why a 9 trillion dollar debt structure that is owned by international monetary corporations(banks) is an important economic indicator of economic stress. This is not limited to the USA it is world wide. The $900,000 billion or so collected from personal income tax is used to pay the interest on this imbalance, so there is really no chance of a recovery, just staying off the inevitable collapse.
