Factual accuracy[edit]
While this chart is simply impossible to have happen in reality, it is a projection of the debt that was provided by the GAO, basically showing what would happen if taxes were not increased. At a targeted 2% inflation, by 2080 the publicly held debt is $2097 trillion by 2080 and $568 in 2014 dollars. Public debt would be 775.2% of GDP and interest on that debt 37.7% of GDP. The chart can not be used as a projection of what the debt will be in the United States, but can be used as a projection of what the debt would be if taxes were not increased.
