Default Americans lead the world in debt reduction.

Americans are cutting their debt faster than other countries, setting the stage for the nation’s economic recovery, says a new report from McKinsey Global Institute.

Since the financial crisis, U.S. household debt has fallen by $584 billion, or 15 percentage points relative to disposable income, which is more than in any other country.

How is that going to work when our government has accumulated staggering levels of debt and keeps making promises of benefits that cannot be paid?

There will be no real recovery until entitlements are reformed and we start spending less than we take in in tax revenues.

We cannot continue to borrow 41% of every $ the federal government spends and hope for any meaningful recovery.

We are following in the path Japan has been in for 20 years and counting.

When and only when we start spending less than we take in will that happen.
