The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecasts that the US national debt will hit $50.7 trillion by 2034, but the true figure "surely will be much bigger," wrote William Pesek, an award-winning journalist and author, for the Asia Times. The CBO projected on June 18 that US debt would reach 122 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) by 2034, far surpassing the nation's record-high public debt-to-GDP ratio of 106 percent in the aftermath of World War II.
