Stop worrying about the debt

The ruling political class will never make the right moves to cut spending because it would be political suicide.
Trump knows this, and we are too far gone.
Save yourself some angst and just take care of yourself, your neighbors, and your community. Prepare accordingly.

They'll default on the debt before that ever happens.

This is my expectation; most industrialized nations are in the same boat.

The debt is a must fix but nobody is going to come collecting. Our money would be worthless and every other economy would crash. BRICS isn’t going to take over the dollar as reserve currency and China and other countries depend on us just as much. If we fail everyone will.

As far as I can tell, Russia may be the only country without crippling debt.
But their gdp sucks, so they may also owe more than they can pay.

If they made the hard choices that are needed they would lose their election.
We have a system that punishes people for doing the right thing.

Nobody cares about the debt until it’s too late…

Meaningful spending cuts will never get through Congress. Take what you can get and call.it a win.

I hate to agree with you but you're more right than wrong.

Yep. The govt is going to do their thing. That much is clear. Just get out of debt. Create your own economy and you’ll never have to worry about the worlds economy.

Fun fact, the federal govt had a surplus in April.
Posted on 6/3/25 at 6:55 pm to Bengalbio
That’s my thought. Might as well give me my tax cuts because they will never reduce spending. Or if they do, the Dems will come in and explode the deficit again, it doesn’t matter. Just buy Bitcoin.
