Ray Dalio is right—the U.S. is on the edge of a debt crisis.
Debt-to-GDP just hit 122%, and the world is done buying U.S. debt. When buyers pull back or demand higher rates, borrowing collapses.
Debt restructuring, political pressure, cutting payments—this isn’t a warning. It’s imminent.

That is what he is known for.
Don’t keep talking about some Golden age. That’s BS!
Maybe you could blame Hillary Clinton for the sinking economy!
We are the embarrassment of the world.
Foreign purchases of debt are directly the result of trade imbalance, which economies have to absorb through currency changes or asset purchases.
But the discussion around a debt crisis is only relevant if the US sees a sharp and globally disproportionate drop in growth. That’s now more likely but because of reckless policy generally, not a dangerously loose fiscal policy.
Just enforcing current tax laws closed much of the gap.
Then tax all income at the same rate as wages & uncap SSI.
Cutting investment & regulation makes us poorer faster than it reduces the debt
T-bill and -note rates are actually down this year.
If there were fewer (or no) buyers, rates would jump.
This was not the case 5 months ago.
Guess what changed.
Dems: How about reversing your irresponsible tax cuts?
GOP: NOT THAT
Xi will be happy to own us eventually
What do you know? The guy who's declared bankruptcy SIX times isn't a financial genius?

Tariffs are to extort companies for bribes and break alliances.
Alarmist bs.
Tax Cuts for the Rich plan?
1) All income is income
2) Capital gains (offset by losses) are income.
3) 90% marginal rate on $10M
4) 99% marginal rate on $100M
5) 99% estate tax on >$10M
Until Debt-to-GDP < 10%
