Rebecca Patterson on Why US National Debt is a Drag on Growth

Rebecca Patterson explains why America’s growing national debt has become a more serious economic concern — and why today’s situation is different from the past. With U.S. government debt already at roughly 100% of GDP and projected to reach 160% over the next three decades, Patterson outlines how rising interest costs are consuming an increasing share of government spending. Currently, about 15% of federal spending goes toward servicing debt — more than the entire defense budget — leaving fewer resources for growth-driving investments like infrastructure, education, and innovation. In this clip, Patterson connects debt levels, credit downgrades, and political gridlock to long-term economic growth risks, offering critical insight for business leaders, investors, and policymakers navigating uncertainty. Topics include: • U.S. national debt and GDP • Credit rating downgrades • Government deficits and interest payments • Long-term economic growth risks • Implications for markets and corporations 📌 Rebecca Patterson is a sought-after speaker on global markets, economic risk, and investment strategy for leadership teams worldwide.
