Perspective –
USA Entitlement Spending = India’s GDP
• With a population of 1.2 billion (vs. USA’s 310 million) and 2010 GDP growth of 10% (vs. USA’s 3%), India is a well-recognized emerging country on the global stage.
• It’s notable that India’s 2010 nominal GDP* of $1.43 trillion was equal to USA’s $1.43 trillion in federal government spending on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
