The CBO also predicts the national debt will be 156% of GDP by 2055.<\/p>\n<p>There is a direct correlation since 1980 between US recessions and federal deficit spending rising to and becoming entrenched at new record high levels, according to data <a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/FYFSD\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">published by<\/a> the St. Louis Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Washington deficit spending levels also historically trend with Bitcoin prices because the government hogs up credit markets, creating upward pressure on loan rates that brings on more of the Fed\u2019s printing press to keep business flowing.<\/p>\n<h2>5.
