https://www.zerohedge.com/mark...-1-trillion-3-months Finally, for those who expect a happy ending, we have one word: "don't." Here is the CBO's latest debt forecast. It shows that US debt is now set to hit $50 trillion by 2030 (probably much sooner though), and then proceed exponentially higher until the US currency finally collapses.  _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

You forgot THE MOST FRIGHTENING chart of all...The Annualized Inrerest Payments on the Federal Debt!  Look at 2022...It's practically straight up! Within one quarter, annualized interest payments on the National Debt paid by the Federal Government will VERY likely rise above $1 Trillion! THIS is what will collapse the US Financial System! Here's some more light reading!  --> https://www.zerohedge.com/mark...about-hit-1-trillion____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

One trillion seconds is slightly over 31,688 years ago. Our children will learn, eventually, that you have to build, mine, or produce the things in our life, you can't print it.  | |||

Clearly more unfettered spending is the solution  . | |||

Think about the consequences of this. Think about whether this even can ever be reversed. How does this end? Superimpose human nature and desperation over those consequences. What can you do to prepare yourself and your family? How much time do you have to do it? You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

There is over $1T in fed.gov debt coming due in the next month. The interest on the notes coming due was about 1%. The interest on the new notes used to borrow more to pay off the old notes will be about 5.75%. Do the math. Or just acknowledge Ross Perot was right.

Perot was the only presidential candidate I can think of who seriously addressed the national debt and made it a cornerstone of his campaign. He had me going until he pulled the stupid stunt with withdrawing from, then getting back into the race while making bullshit excuses for both. I can't think of any president since Andrew Jackson (who paid it off) who has not added to the debt. Even Donald Trump is not completely off the hook. Biden, however, has taken it to new highs (or lows). | |||

Yep. But... all spending bills originate in the House. It's not just the President, although they sign them into law. The Covid Candy for everyone and the ironically named "Inflation Reduction Act" have sent the debt parabolic. The spending must be reversed or the entire economy will collapse. I don't think most Democrats, and about half of Republicans, even understand that we can't just keep printing money. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Thus the prediction in some circles that the Fed will be forced to reduce rates soon to keep the fedgov from openly defaulting on debt, even though the official inflation rate hasn't been tamed. The results would be 1) Much higher inflation, and 2) Precious metals price spiking up. | |||

"OK, Boomer" mentality will expand to "FU, Boomer and the debt you rode in on". Philosophically we cannot as individuals impose our personal debt obligations onto our children. So we as a generation can't impose our collective debt onto future generations. When it is obvious the vast majority of national debt did not fund long term improvements for future generations, they could decide en masse to renounce the debt. They would be ethically justified in doing so. Start with a clean slate. Pain must be felt by a lot of people to get this debt insanity resolved. I expect hyper inflation and then issuance of some "New Dollar" will be what happens. Or our grandkids' generation gets into power and renounce the debt wholesale. | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Or even worse if, economic suffering is great enough with no viable solution, younger generations might turn on the boomers for retribution. It's happened before. A demographic is scapegoated, isolated and targeted. Boomers could easily be seen as those who effed this whole system up. Younger gens already hold boomers in derision. Boomers will be too old to defend themselves. Pull the plug, so to speak. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

To a large extent, this is true. Boomers have created the world of debt we are living in. I've told my own children much the same: The day will come when your generation is saddled with all of this and when enough of you figure out that you are forced to carry the debt you had nothing to do with, you will default. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies.
