we've published a lot of work at our institute, including by carmen rhinehart, who is one of the great experts on this. the conclusion depends on method analysis but the bottom line is if your fashion debt to gdp ratio exceeds 60%, you're at risk. if it exceeds 90%, you're almost certainly going to take a significant hit to your long-term growth. her database, which goes back a long way, shows that chris whose debt to gdp ratios gets beyond 90% -- >> gross debt? >> gross debt beyond 90% leads to growth rates 1 to 1.5 percentage points per year lower. if your baseline is 2.5 to 3 like ours, that means you're cutting it in hef and getting to what we tend to call a growth recession, certainly not one that keeps the unplomt rate from rising. so somewhere in that range, you can't be too precise, so somewhere in that range, 60 to say 100, you clearly don't want to be beyond that. we're already beyond it. all the trajectories take us just off the chart beyond that and that's why your basic point is so right. >> i've written a book that's coming out in april that partly addresses this pip woul
