Net debt? Holy Moses!!! Maybe they will start to use this metric to “massage” the numbers later on…

Anyhow… look how gold tracks this one also! Cool that there is even a projected 94% value for end of 2024.

Edit: adding rate of change.. which tracks even better than nominal values (often don’t fully reset).

Edit: adding rate of change for Federal Debt: Total Public Debt as Percent of Gross Domestic Product
