Chart of the year: Entitlements and
Interest drive the Fiscal Crisis

2012 – 2037
Payments for all the entitlement
programs will be dwarfed by interest on the national debt in 12
years.
This projection by
the Congressional Budget Office assumes that
historically low interest rates continue at least until 2015
and that inflation will be modest, inching up toward 2 percent of gross domestic
product (GDP) by 2017. Nevertheless, spending on interest on the debt would
double before the end of the decade.
Should the Federal
Reserve’s continued and prolonged quantitative easing lead to more severe
inflation—a
risk that is very real—the dangerous scenario painted in the
chart of the year could come about even sooner.
