Druckenmiller says US debt is 31 trillion officially but 200 trillion when including promised entitlement payments.
“But if you did your accounting like any corporation and you assume those payments are going be made, yeah, the present value is probably around $200,000,000,000,000.”
Druckenmiller states closing the fiscal gap requires raising all taxes 40 percent or cutting all spending 36 percent forever.
“To actually pay for the entitlements we promised in the future, you'd have to raise all taxes 40% today forever or cut all spending 36 today forever.”
