U.S. GDP approx. $14.5325 Trillion

U.S. Debt Limit raised to $14.3 Trillion

Current U.S. National Debt = $12.6+ Trillion

As government spending rages on it will push the national debt up to $14.3 Trillion. Thus, threatening to swamp economic output (as measured by GDP) of $14.5 Trillion.

I am pretty sure that article was referring to a time when the U.S. National Debt > GDP.

That's my simple explanation to what the article meant.
