Debtor Nation: The Math on the US Economy Just Broke

Video Overview & Insights

The United States has officially crossed a terrifying mathematical threshold: our national debt is now over 100% of our GDP. We officially owe more than we make. While politicians are busy flexing "America First" posturing and arguing over culture wars, the repo man is backing up to the Washington Monument.

Deciding to spend $1 billion per day on a war, that will accomplish nothing, and result in economic loss, is akin to a family surviving pay check to pay check, deciding to go on a Disney vacation. There are better ways to spend your money .

— @ConsiderThis578

What does a 100% debt-to-GDP ratio actually mean? It means the interest payments alone on our national debt are about to eclipse our entire defense budget. It means the "tough guy" geopolitical moves we make are being funded by the very countries we are trying to intimidate. Most importantly, it means the American working class is about to get squeezed through inflation, gutted social safety nets, and a devalued dollar just to keep the Ponzi scheme going.

Sitting in Europe, watching the US economy mathematically break down while the rest of the world builds zero-tariff trade bridges to cut us out, is a massive reality check.

And people will say "but we're a military superpower" not realizing that most of the military budget is money laundering. $25,000 for a bag of 500 bolts machined for $20 by an operator that hits the green button and measures once every 25 parts? Our entire government runs on laundering our tax dollars and raking in as much for themselves and the pedo elite as they can before they cash out and bail to a private island.

It’s not like your bank account. Japan’s debt-to-GDP ratio was a staggering 200% for a long time. The real danger lies in the potential collapse of the US economy under Donald Trump. He believes the USA is simply a part of his business empire but a state is not a business. Trump misunderstands fundamental economic principles and is likely to cause widespread damage. Despite this, he will remain convinced of his greatness and believe he’s the greatest POTUS ever. He’s clearly not matured.

I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while now. Not that you would ever want to, but you are exactly the type of person we need more of in Congress. You’ve mentioned that you are conservative and I’m a liberal but everything you say makes sense. I have worked more than 35 years in finance and I trust your judgement. I’ve got dual citizenship and US and EU passports. I am permanently leaving the US soon!

One aspect of damage that Trump has done to the US economy is the loss of trust. The US was strong, because it was dependable over decades. You knew an investment would pay off over 30 years. Now, you dont know if your investment is safe week to week. Trump has turned the US into a rouge state with his chaotic, gangster style trade policy. All America has left under Trump is military force, but he is even screwing that up. Get rid of him America...

America has not had a balanced budget for the past 24 consecutive years. According to the debt clock each citizen owe 114.000 or each taxpayer 359.000 usd. That is before a possible morgage, car loan, student loan, credit card or medical debt. Intrest on US debt exceeds the defence budget, and the money to pay the intrest is more borrowed money.

ALL tax havens like say the parasite nation Switzerland, should be severely sanctioned by the whole world.
There should be no place for the elite to hide their ill gained wealth.
Take the Irish company Apple, NO ONE should be able to own their products and not be completely ridiculed and frowned upon, CUZ this brand is screwing over, everyone, not only the American tax payer that granted get it extra hard.
I am proud to say that in my entire 60 year life i have touched a apple product for 30 seconds ( taking a photo with nices phone ), and while a decade ago i still feel soiled by these vile people.

As I said before, this is because the US has been dumping money on useless wars that were of no interest to them. Those countries they were fighting were not a threat to the US. When you drop a bomb or launch a missile for no reason in another country, that is absolutely no threat to you. The taxpayer foots the bill. The nothing wars that America did not win, however somehow robbed the middle class of all their wealth. Think about that.

Treasury Bonds are not bad debt. You trust your Bank, Insurance Company, Pension Fund etc because they own US Treasury Bonds that guarantee 4.40% interest every year. They actually keep the economy secure. But the US Government has discovered it can live while adding $2 Trillion a year onto that Debt with the Deficit. If the Government was using that imbalance to fund a sovereign wealth fund like Norway to ensure Social Security or Medicare for the future, the size of the National Debt wouldn't be a huge Problem at all. Norway has a National Debt of 55% of its GDP, which helps keep its economy stable, but their Sovereign Wealth Fund could pay that Debt off 5 times over. But Norwegian Banks and Insurance companies want those secure Bonds. As do other Countries. Australia has a similar percent of National Debt in Bonds, but has 4 times as much money in its Retirement Funds. The Debt isn't nearly the problem the Government overspending is. Being the Worlds Reserve Currency means the USA's debt will always look bad, but 85% of Global Trade happens in US Dollars. There needs to be a lot out there. It is not like a Mortgage on a house where Zero is the best balance. But it shouldn't be growing exponentially, unless the Country is seeing some Real Growth in the Areas that matter. Infrastructure, communication, export terminals in the form of Ports or Air Freight facilities. Dedicated Research and Development programs. Your own Sovereign Wealth Fund. Somehow the USA has bet the Future on Data Centers. I don't know how that's going to pay off if half the Country doesn't know how they would cope with an unexpected $1000 Bill. Alarm Bells should ring loudly when people started buying Pizzas on instalments.

The US debt was 35% of GDP before 9/11. The debt ballooned because to wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran. What did the US gain? Well, Trump surrendered to the Taliban. The US will fall into the dustbin of history when ex allies sell of US debt.

Most of what the USA has or did was imported anyways via migrants .. A lot of people wont want to go there now because its so toxic.. and a lot of nations are turning away from US tech as well.. its going to get pretty interesting to see how such a big nation reacts, because normaly when shit hits the fan it means a war is coming or a revolt.

History is littered with it and the USA is no execption to this rule.. its human nature at this point.

True.that Afghanistan is where Empires go to die.

Indonesia is considering TOLL for Malacca Straits.

Many Red Yanks would have Zero knowledge about Indonesia and Historical Unrest they cause in region.

The new leader is ex Military.

USA has caused the Cascade they were warned would happen if hit Iran.

I fear that the US government has already decided that their "best chance" in this situation is to inflate their military, so that they are armed for leveraging money out of other countries by force, blackmail or plain theft. The US as a pirate in world economy.

@milohobo9186

there are countries were the ratio is (much) worse, actually. However, the plan of the new Fed chair to let inflation run rampant is pure genius: raise taxes and do not officially do it. Citizens will pay for the national debt, shrunk by inflation, with extra money for the higher prices. Good for those who have a mortgage
