It’s
not a news now that the U.S financial ship is surrounded by high tides of
financial debts. With various reasons that pushed the country into the waves,
excessive spending in past few years is one of them. American government has
been spending huge amount of money which was much more than what it received as
an income. This has lead to an instability in the financial status of the
country and has brought an economic insecurity among the citizens. Regular emptying of the reserve with lesser incoming s in the funds, kept on decreasing
the funds with the government and the Federal Reserve on the other hand kept on
printing more currency to keep the balance. This very attempt of the Fed just
created a short term mirage among the people but gradually people came in
acquaintance with reality.
Considering
the official figures of the government, national debt amount of the country is
expected to reach 150% of its GDP. This is the figure that was after the World
War II. The Fed has lowered the interest rate to zero and it cannot be done
below that. Continuous printing of currency may lead to a state of inflation and
the long term interest rates will keep on rising. The federal Reserve has tried
its best to keep the economy alive by printing more currencies but all in vain.
It further pulled the economy nearer to the grave. The only reason why U.S is
still not bankrupt is that it is a country and not a business. It has control
over the Fed.
