Brookings: schuldencrisis kost gemiddeld Amerikaans huishouden $18.000 per jaar

A Brookings Institution analysis reveals that addressing the U.S. debt crisis could cost the average American household $18,000 annually. The study shows that tax increases across all income levels, not just the wealthy, are necessary to stabilize federal debt. With household debt standing at approximately $235,000 per person and the nation running the largest budget deficits among OECD countries, policymakers face difficult choices regarding revenue increases, spending cuts, or both.
