There are a few things that International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva says she is concerned when it comes to the US debt. Georgieva says the US is in a "very privileged situation" given its strong economy, the strong dollar, and the flow of international cash into its businesses. However, she cautions that the country is still spending as if it still has a "youthful population that it had some decades ago, that has to be corrected." Georgieva notes the US, as a whole, is aging, though because its economy is still strong, it's still attracting young people from around the world. Another headwind? The high cost of servicing US debt, something she calls "exceptionally high" and "begs for action." Watch the full interview with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva here.
