Two years ago nobody could predict the dollar condition we're witnessing today. The u.s continue to double down on the same mistake that brought the dollar where it's. Therefore,no guarantee that the grass of the dollar would not be faster than it's envisaged
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival
These are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones

I would say TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RECISSION! Recessions are an unavoidable part of the economic cycle; all you can do is prepare for them and plan accordingly. I graduated into a slump (2009). My first job after graduating from college was as an aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today, I work as a VP for a global corporation, own three rental properties, invest in stocks and businesses, run my own company, and have increased my net worth by $500k in the last four years.

Even if the market keeps falling, if you're an expert, you won't have any trouble making big gains despite the downturn. How long you are willing to hold will determine everything.
Despite the current economic crisis, I also found that many people are still making six-figure salaries; the only difference is that these tactics are commonly used successfully by those who have a good understanding of the market.
During this recession, I've seen a lot of people earn six figures, but I've also observed that these strategies frequently only produce results when used by people with in-depth market knowledge.

Well the recent events with SVB make it unlikely for the market to make significant gains soon, so it's wise to manage expectations and prepare for a potentially long recovery period. It's recommended to avoid making significant investment decisions until the economic environment stabilizes in areas of concern. It's best to exercise caution and avoid engaging with the current turbulence.
Bad start to the year with these banks collapsing, META down 40k, ALLP down 35k, Draft Kings down 6k, NIO down 15K, ABML down 8k, and my wife doesn’t know. I'm just hanging on to Jim Cramer's words about opportunities in volatile times so perhaps, I either wait for a recovery or pick profitable investments to substitute for my loss.
There are quite frankly a number of ways to make high yields amidst volatile times, but such trades are best done under the supervision of a portfolio-coach

They should express national debt as a percentage of GDP rather than a number, that way people can compare it to other countries. $31 trillion is around 120% of U.S. GDP. Meaning America has a government debt 1.2 × its annual income.
You are comparing debt to GDP vs debt to income. GDP is a measurement of all economic activity within the country. They are not equivalent. It is more like we generated 4.6 trillion in tax revenue last year but we have a debt of 31.7 trillion which is a debt to income ratio of 689%. That would be a person who makes 60k and has a student loan of 413k.
What a stupid idea. No other country has a "debt ceiling". Better way to remove the debt, incentivize investors by temporarily lowering corporate and personal taxes if they let the national debt be erased.
Not every year. The GOP only does it when there is a Democrat President. You'll notice the GOP just rubber stamps Debt Ceiling increases when Republicans like Trump, Bush, etc. massively raise the Debt.
No worries, the debt ceiling will be rise again. The US debt ceiling has been rising for the last 68 years or more 😁😁😁I'm curious if people who went through the financial crisis in 2008 had an easier time than me right now. The stock market is making me really worried because I've lost over $ 27,000 in just this month and I'm not making as much money as I used to. This is making me concerned that I might not have enough money saved up for my retirement since I can't add to my savings.
Investing in stocks can be wise with a reliable trading system. Focus on learning when to buy and sell to minimize losses and maximize profits, and be prepared to capitalize when the market rebounds.
The market doesn't have to feel like a rollercoaster if you know your way around. There are various opportunities to profit in the current market. If you're not too savvy, consider buying and holding strong companies with good earnings, or consult with advisors on ETFs and actively managed funds. I've seen a 418% increase in one year under guidance.
Don't fret, the debt ceiling always goes up. I wonder if 2008 crisis survivors had it easier. I'm concerned about the stock market, I've lost $35,000 this month, and my income is down. Worried I won't save enough for retirement as I can't add to my savings.
@RodxmirixmThank you for the advice. I had no trouble locating your coach, and I conducted thorough research on her before arranging a phone call. She appears highly skilled based on her resume.
@@johnkleven9416 That's not true, if the interest on the debt becomes too much too pay we default, this article is completely wrong on how defaulting works, well not completely, but not raising the debt ceiling wouldn't cause a default, defaults happen when payments are not made like in Greece, or the government admits it's inability like in Puerto Rico.
We ‘borrow’ mostly from ourselves. The largest share of our nation debt is owed to Social Security. That’s right, I said they’re robbing your social security
@@RCA1929 Correct on point one. But the majority of the debt is against the value of our own money and treasury bills. The government is borrowing from the Federal Reserve. There is no Social Security account. The government argued in Helvering vs. Davis before the Supreme Court that the Social Security Act was legal because Congress had the power to tax and to spend money as it saw fit to provide for the general welfare. Social Security is just a tax & spend scheme, it is not a protected national retirement system with individual accounts.
@@hammerfist8763 no ,, it isn’t protected, but it should be. The dividends should be higher too. I wouldn’t call social security a scheme, but it is being plundered
Clearly defaulting on the bonds would be catastrophic. However, continuing to raise the debt ceiling on a path where payments on the debt will consume all revenues. We are already past the point where we are paying off the principle and just keeping up with the interest payment. This is the inherent problem with borrowing more money to cover payments on existing debts. Like people who've done this with credit cards, it's a hole that gets deeper and deeper until you get buried in it. The only way out is for congress to stop deficit spending to cover everything else it spends money on and to start whittling down the debt. This will be painful of course, but not as painful as total economic collapse. Since the Fed was created, we have been on a road that leaves us in the position of having to choose between two bad choices.
@@ramirogonzalez7153 Hmm, history would suggest otherwise. And debt is debt. The government is not above the laws of economics (as much as it tries to be). Just because the government can print all the money it wants the laws of economics still hold and hyperinflation or total economic collapse is the inevitable outcome. And when that happens, the "government" may persevere, but I guarantee you won't like it (just ask the Germans).
Can't deny the fact that *VRI TOKEN* has the strongest bet to bring lights back to this industry after we suffered FTX, Celsius, Tera and so on.

The problem is the job itself is not clear. To make sure the ceiling is always high enough for borrowing? Or, make sure the spending is within the limit? Or, at least not excess the limit too much?

Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
Right now, things are peculiar. Because of inflation and the emergence of other strong nations that are willing to trade in their own currencies, the US dollar is losing value. The good news is that a lot of people continue to use the Dollar because it in some way guarantees safety. I'm concerned that these and other factors will cause my $420,000 in retirement savings to lose value. We need to keep our money somewhere else.
Well, I suggest you make a diversification plan because it's been harder to build a good portfolio that stays afloat since COVID.

We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2023, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $480,000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.
Inflation can cut your $480,000 to the bone, just as easy as a recessionary dip in the market. Not to mention people like me that don't have anywhere near that kind of money in the bank. 60% of Americans cannot cover a $400 emergency. Massive spending cuts are an absolute must, so that people who are barely making it can eat. Combined with tax cuts, a reduction in spending, will make this economy that was thriving under Trump come back. The economy went right in the toilet when this pedophile Biden took office. Soon Trump will be President again, and the markets will explode.
As someone with little to no financial experience, wouldn't it be safer to take all the money out? Put it in a safe or something to keep it safe? You retain your savings in full that way.
Great video! I have a question, I have two fraud inquiries on my reports that I would like to get removed. I've seen your video regarding this, but Im still a bit confused.

I don't consider renting passive income unless you have professional property management. Most people who rent don't count their time and effort needed just to make a tiny return on their massive investment. For example, you invest $599,000 to buy a second home and rent it out for $3000 a month. Let assume you are cash flow positive on the property and you make $1000 a month or $12,000 a year. What would your annualized return be? 2 percent on the entire amount. Now, you can argue that your return is much higher since you only put down $120,000 on the property. However, you are on the hook for the full $600k regardless of what the future FMV of the house is. Furthermore, people assume that their home will always appreciate in value however, this is a false assumption you can make. In the best case, you will gain some capital appreciation thanks to the central bank increasing the money supply, however, if inflation heats up, you can see your property actually start to lose money in real terms. This is because there is an inverse relationship between housing and nominal interest rates. The central bank will attempt to slow down inflation with higher interest rates and curb lending. We haven't seen inflation in a big way but we can see all the massive stimulus money that the government is pumping turn into inflation while taxes will be hiked to pay for all the COVID spending, your best choice is to look into *VRI TOKEN* Its more profitable.
When a treasury bill matures the payment represents both interest and principal. If the US Treasury does not prioritize repayment of maturing treasury securities over other government payments, holders of maturing treasury bills will be stuck holding an illiquid asset that may not be paying any more interest. They will not be able to bid on new treasury bills because they will not have the funds to pay for the new securities. The question then is who will want to buy new treasury bills if there is a good chance that they will not be paid on time and that they will not earn interest while they are stuck in payment limbo. Any delays in payment for maturing US Treasury securities will have substantial ripple effects throughout the financial system. I don’t think our politicians have the slightest idea of the risks that they are taking.

would suggest you thoroughly evaluate the companies you have invested in and their estimated future performance, as we may expect to see the market decline further.

The problem is not the debt ceiling. The problem is out-of-control government spending. Why did congress pass a spending bill that it KNEW it couldn't afford? They knew what the debt ceiling was before they approved the federal budget. They passed it because they knew they could use it as an excuse to raise the debt ceiling. The pain is only going to be worse in the future. Better to take the pain NOW than to kick the can down the road, AGAIN.

The US government absolutely has the financial capability to pay the debt. It's the self-imposed and frankly dumb, debt ceiling rule that's causing this issue. No other country has this rule btw because once the legislative approves a budget, it's already a done case that the deficit in the approved budget will be borrowed.
@@chinguunerdenebadrakh7022 no other big country has this much debt except Japan which in future will not grow . It's economy has already stagnated. But can usa afford a stagnated economy? Concerning china, i don't think so. China has a debt of 76%of GDP
@@Leap6 dude, this rule wasn't implemented when the US debt was soaring in something like 2001, it was implemented in 1917 to make war spending easier. It was hijacked by Republican Party somewhere in the 80s and 90s to get what they want against Democrat presidents. It worked just fine without any threat of default for political gains for more than half a century. And Japan's economy didn't stagnate BECAUSE of debt, Japan's debt increased because of stagnation. For more information, look up Abenomics.
The must pay the debt. But they will have to cut spending. There are innumerable places to cut spending: CIA, NSA, Pentagon, Ukraine war, drug prohibition and global war, military bases around the world, the Fed, EPA, FDA, Education department, government student loans, government housing loans, and even getting rid of all those tax exemptions and credits giving to the richest on Earth.

Interesting consideration, have to consider digital land probably won't function like physical land obviously but I see application. The issue right now is no one can foresee where this space is heading. Metaverse is an obvious choice in purchasing land as it's backed by FB but when I bought my VR headset a lot of people didn't want to have any association with FB like having to create an account to access their VR profile. I think if fears of future pandemics persist people will be more willing to stay home and interact on VR for shopping and social events, not to mention viewing events in other countries without the costs of flying, etc. There's a lot of potential and opportunity to integrate with cryptocurrency when you deal with the right source like *VRI TOKEN* but there's probably a long way until a platform exists for it.
The debt ceiling literally shouldn't be a thing, AT ALL. If congress approved the spending as part of the regular budget, then it's approved. If we're concerned about the debt, by all means, let's look at ways to balance the budget. But imposing a ceiling is a remarkably stupid idea that routinely causes problems.
right now the US pays close to 25% of its entire tax revenue on interest payments for the 31 Trillion of debt we have. What do you think happens when the interest on the debt exceeds total tax revenue? Keep in mind, we are not paying down the debt by a single dollar. 1 trillion dollars just in interest. It is madness...

*VRI TOKEN* has the most potential to do more than X10. ETH and BTC will most likely do a X5-X6, but that's fine for me. Gotta look for better entry points while I stake IRIS and PGEN, then wait for Polygen's next raise as I also look at their new partnership with Kenzo Ventures.
Nice piece of propaganda here. What I'm hearing is the value of existing dollars doesn't get inflated, gold goes up, and government spending is halted. Don't see any problems.
The problem this time is borrowing costs have gone up - so even if the debt ceiling is raised, the new debt will come with a higher price tag making future interest payments a bigger part of the federal budget. The other factor is the appetite for US debt is dwindling in a new world of dedollarization. If our trading partners don't want dollars now, why would they want future dollars which is what an IOU is.
Dedollarization is overblown. And the interest is getting more expensive has been true for decades. The issue is cutting spending and cutting tax cuts. A lot just focus on the former. And people need to prioritize budget surpluses or at least balanced budgets to congress /political candidates. But I doubt it happens bc both parties (at least the GOP certainly) seem stuck in their distracting and toxic culture war.
If you keep printing money we don't have, and causing massive inflation it will not matter if we avoid a recession. I've lived through 15 recessions. It's a fact of life.

A very helpful video. Thank you. The core question is,,, "Would the debt ceiling be raised?" The answer is "of course". As tough as both sides are dragging out to demonstrate how uncompromising they are, reality will ultimately bring them back to their senses. The simply cannot allow a default to happen. But there is another question that no one can answer..."Why raking up all these debts in the first place?" Before we can answer that question, there are multitudes of other questions that needed to be answered. "Where is all that money gone to?" "Is the US spending beyond its means?" "Does the US have difficulties managing money?" "Has the US grown too used to borrowing money?" "Has the US's days being the centre of global financial system numbered?"
So, basically what they're saying is, if there is a default, pretty much everyone is screwed. This hits close to home for me, since I'm a 17 year old guy in a working class household. Brrr...

You would think the fact that America has to keep having these last minute emergency debt ceiling rises more and more frequently would be a warning sign yet the financial markets are like "These guys are the best! 🤑' It's like going for a mortgage and telling your bank you overspend every year but its okay because you just fight with your wife until they let you get another credit card!

Credit scores are just a form of federal control, so if you want to continue living a good life? it’s important to have a high score. My house and vehicles are paid off, I have one Visa card for all purchases, which gives me air miles, and I pay it off monthly, but my score bounces between 800 and 820 without changing any of my patterns, so it’s manipulated for some reason. *VRI TOKEN* made it stay at that range and getting it up
My heart goes to the entire community for *VRI TOKEN* building up something even my grandpa can understand. This is so smart by them to launch it to shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk which is not even correct to begin with. Everyone knows the state of inflation and recession now and the way out is already in progress. Now it's just about catching the big fish
One of the most stunning things I learned about modern economies is that money is created out of thin air when someone takes out a loan and goes into debt. I was well into my forties when I learned this about modern money. At first I did not believe it and it is certainly not what I was taught about money in my younger days. The money is created by entering numbers into the borrower’s account when the borrower takes out the loan. As the loan is paid back, the money that was created for the loan is eliminated and no longer exists, but the bank or financial institution that created the money gets to keep the interest that was paid. So, the more debt there is, the more money there is and the more interest that is paid to the bank. Modern money is mostly about getting governments, corporations, businesses and people into debt and there is also quite a bit of smoke and mirrors involved. On the international level, debt has been used as a tool to gain power, status and influence over other countries for centuries. In the past century, the US perfected this technique. In the 21st century, China and some other countries have also learned this trick. The idea is to keep the borrowers continuously in debt so they can continuously keep paying interest to the “lenders”. The joke is that the money given out for the loans that make up this debt does not exist. It is basically a “fake loan” and to make the joke even better, to get a loan like this, most of us including governments of other countries have to put up some collateral, so if you default, they can take ownership of your collateral. So basically, they get whatever collateral you put up for free and with no risk since the money they “lent” you did not exist. Supposedly, this has been determined to be a legitimate way to do business! This is how the US has been able to be the dominant player in the world economy but is now being challenged. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the size of the economy which is the amount of money the economy is worth. When the economy is continuously growing, the GDP is also continually growing. Similar to any addiction, more and more borrowing is needed to have the same effect on economic growth. When the government debt starts to become greater than the value of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), technically it will no longer be possible to pay back the government debt. If it continues, the buying power of money will start to be significantly reduced and if the government debt starts to become several more times higher than the GDP, the money and financial systems will probably collapse. If this happens, the system is reset and the cycle is repeated. During the run up there will be some good times but, after the reset, times will probably not be good and war is also a possibility. This cycle has been repeated continuously throughout history from the Chinese Dynasties to the Roman Empire to Germany after World War One and to Argentina, Venezuela and to many African and Asian nations in the 21st century. Not sure if the US can avoid this cycle. If they can, they would be the first. The idea and thinking that the economy always has to grow for there to be innovation, progress and prosperity may be a problem on a finite planet with limited resources and the focus now needs to be on sustainability not on growth! Presently if the economy is not growing, it is considered a failure. This type of thinking cannot go on uninterrupted on a finite planet with finite resources. There needs to be flexibility in the system for the economy to expand and contract and for a contraction to be considered normal and not a problem or a failure. The contraction needs to be just as prosperous and productive as the expansion. For this type of thinking to work, there needs to be some new economic theories and models developed along with some new types of money and financial systems based on economic sustainability not on economic growth and money inflation. I am sure there will be some Nobel prizes awarded to the academics, economists, corporate CEO's and business leaders and of course politicians and government officials that can figure out how to make a sustainable economy work and how not to devalue the nation’s money in the process. The way this can begin and improve peace and fairness at the same time is when our business, government and academic leaders along with our wealthiest and brightest and smartest among us and this would include people making RUclips videos can learn to be much more truthful, honest and trustworthy and learn how not to be greedy and learn how not to become corrupt and along with a majority of us can start to understand that the wellbeing and happiness of others benefits everyone and is the bases for morality.
Amen brother, this needs to be taught at public schools so people aren't thinking such crazy wrong things like National Debt is good or raising the debt ceiling is acceptable.
@@MISTAKEWASMADE4live Yes, this does need to be taught in public schools. It is not difficult to understand and is actually pretty basic but they want to make it seem complicated. Here is something ese to think about. Whether governments borrow money that banks create or create the money themselves, there is no real value in this money. It will have value because we will probably have faith in the government and would be willing to work and exchange good and services for this money. This money will also have value because we will need it to pay our taxes. If our trust and faith in the government goes, so will our trust and faith in the money they create. If we do not have trust and faith in the government, we will not have a civil nation nor a civil economy and there will be some type of black market or anarchy based economy. I do not think this would represent progress. Managing and controlling the nation’s money is how the government gets its power and is one of the most import jobs the government has right up there with national defense and protecting us from criminals and protecting our privacy. The privilege of creating the nation’s money should only be reserved for the government. Private banks should only be allowed to lend money that they actually have. If the banks do not have money to lend to businesses and corporations, the government can create this money and lend it to them instead of the private banks and the interest on these loans can be paid to the government, not to the private banks, which would be a nice source of government revenue and would probably result in lower tax rates. If the government needs money for national defense or to build infrastructure or for any other government operations, they can simply create it themselves without borrowing money that the private banks create and going into debt and paying interest to the private banks. If the government creates all the money it needs, the government will not have a national debt and will not have to pay interest on the money it created. There will never be a “debt ceiling” because there will never be a debt!
More importantly, they can stop anyone’s maritime carriers from being robbed at any time, meaning US is the security guarantor of global trade. If US military has to pull out, the middle class will crumple across the globe as global supply chains break. Not to say some wouldn’t be happy about that, but in many countries, the only thing that stands between now and outright political upheaval is a high enough standard of living made possible by said global supply chains. Some countries would be forced to revert to part-agrarian societies again. US defaulting on its debt would be the end of the current order as we know it.
Then Republicans should present their budget cuts on the campaign trail and pass them when they are voted into office. Playing chicken with economic catastrophe is highly irresponsible.

You lie. Your own graphics prove it. Even without borrowing, there is plenty of money. Take money away from those other programs to pay the debt. Tax receipts are more than enough. If failing to pay interest on time is so catastrophic (which it is), it is easily avoidable.

I must be crazy. I grew up thinking that if you want to build a business, you either save then start small and build up the company. Yes, you can borrow BUT, you have to pay your debt as soon as you can while growing your business and not borrow again. It's mental to run your business on debt. It's the same, it's madness to run your life on debt.
And that is the difference between a business and a country. Business are about making money. A country is about the people. It's why general business advice for new high school or college grads doesn't really apply at a macro scale.

Of course, someday this pyramid will collapse. And the debt won't cost anything. But for now, everyone is interested in the status quo. China wants to sell its trillion-dollar junk to the US. Europe is also actively facilitating crutches.
Yes, but there is no need. The point at the federal level is to have a certain level of debt that can be balanced with deposits. If everyone kept money deposited our economy would grind to a halt.
Why no one is questioning why we have to keep raising the debt ceiling. It's a shame that fiscal discipline is not maintained. The debt limit should be tied to GDP, and there will be temporary consequences, but continuously selling bonds to raise money is not a good option.
Love how WSJ presents their opinion as fact. A better question is what does the US do when the dollar is worthless and the productive economies, China, India, Russia, etc no longer execute trade or hold dollars in reserve.

Well the recent events with SVB make it unlikely for the market to make significant gains soon, so it's wise to manage expectations and prepare for a potentially long recovery period. It's recommended to avoid making significant investment decisions until the economic environment stabilizes in areas of concern. It's best to exercise caution and avoid engaging with the current turbulence.

They should express national debt as a percentage of GDP rather than a number, that way people can compare it to other countries. $31 trillion is around 120% of U.S. GDP. Meaning America has a government debt 1.2 × its annual income.
Problem is....next year your salary won't change much and you'll have 74k in student loans
The US federal government income is more like 5 trillion so it’s like making 50k a year and having 310k in student loans.
Imagine thinking global economics applies at all to your personal economics.
You are comparing debt to GDP vs debt to income. GDP is a measurement of all economic activity within the country. They are not equivalent. It is more like we generated 4.6 trillion in tax revenue last year but we have a debt of 31.7 trillion which is a debt to income ratio of 689%. That would be a person who makes 60k and has a student loan of 413k.
What a stupid idea. No other country has a "debt ceiling". Better way to remove the debt, incentivize investors by temporarily lowering corporate and personal taxes if they let the national debt be erased.
This is expected every year. I'm kinda numb to it now

No worries, the debt ceiling will be rise again. The US debt ceiling has been rising for the last 68 years or more 😁😁😁I'm curious if people who went through the financial crisis in 2008 had an easier time than me right now.

This is making me concerned that I might not have enough money saved up for my retirement since I can't add to my savings.
The debt ceiling is theft. We must stop raising it.
Investing in stocks can be wise with a reliable trading system. Focus on learning when to buy and sell to minimize losses and maximize profits, and be prepared to capitalize when the market rebounds.
The market doesn't have to feel like a rollercoaster if you know your way around. There are various opportunities to profit in the current market. If you're not too savvy, consider buying and holding strong companies with good earnings, or consult with advisors on ETFs and actively managed funds.

It's catastrophic because our economy is too dependent on financing in the form of a borrowed, inflated currency.
We ‘borrow’ mostly from ourselves. The largest share of our nation debt is owed to Social Security. That’s right, I said they’re robbing your social security
@@RCA1929 Correct on point one. But the majority of the debt is against the value of our own money and treasury bills. The government is borrowing from the Federal Reserve. There is no Social Security account. The government argued in Helvering vs. Davis before the Supreme Court that the Social Security Act was legal because Congress had the power to tax and to spend money as it saw fit to provide for the general welfare. Social Security is just a tax & spend scheme, it is not a protected national retirement system with individual accounts.
@@hammerfist8763 no ,, it isn’t protected, but it should be. The dividends should be higher too. I wouldn’t call social security a scheme, but it is being plundered
@@RCA1929 do you think this debt can be paid?
Clearly defaulting on the bonds would be catastrophic. However, continuing to raise the debt ceiling on a path where payments on the debt will consume all revenues. We are already past the point where we are paying off the principle and just keeping up with the interest payment. This is the inherent problem with borrowing more money to cover payments on existing debts. Like people who've done this with credit cards, it's a hole that gets deeper and deeper until you get buried in it. The only way out is for congress to stop deficit spending to cover everything else it spends money on and to start whittling down the debt. This will be painful of course, but not as painful as total economic collapse. Since the Fed was created, we have been on a road that leaves us in the position of having to choose between two bad choices.
The government is not a household. You can not compare it to credit card debt. The expected life expectancy of the United States is forever.
@@ramirogonzalez7153 incorrect.
@@ramirogonzalez7153 Hmm, history would suggest otherwise. And debt is debt. The government is not above the laws of economics (as much as it tries to be).

Inflation can cut your $480,000 to the bone, just as easy as a recessionary dip in the market.

I don't consider renting passive income unless you have professional property management. Most people who rent don't count their time and effort needed just to make a tiny return on their massive investment. For example, you invest $599,000 to buy a second home and rent it out for $3000 a month. Let assume you are cash flow positive on the property and you make $1000 a month or $12,000 a year. What would your annualized return be? 2 percent on the entire amount. Now, you can argue that your return is much higher since you only put down $120,000 on the property. However, you are on the hook for the full $600k regardless of what the future FMV of the house is. Furthermore, people assume that their home will always appreciate in value however, this is a false assumption you can make. In the best case, you will gain some capital appreciation thanks to the central bank increasing the money supply, however, if inflation heats up, you can see your property actually start to lose money in real terms. This is because there is an inverse relationship between housing and nominal interest rates. The central bank will attempt to slow down inflation with higher interest rates and curb lending. We haven't seen inflation in a big way but we can see all the massive stimulus money that the government is pumping turn into inflation while taxes will be hiked to pay for all the COVID spending, your best choice is to look into *VRI TOKEN* Its more profitable.
The depth of the deceit, corruption and fraud in the current monetary system is appalling.
When a treasury bill matures the payment represents both interest and principal. If the US Treasury does not prioritize repayment of maturing treasury securities over other government payments, holders of maturing treasury bills will be stuck holding an illiquid asset that may not be paying any more interest. They will not be able to bid on new treasury bills because they will not have the funds to pay for the new securities. The question then is who will want to buy new treasury bills if there is a good chance that they will not be paid on time and that they will not earn interest while they are stuck in payment limbo. Any delays in payment for maturing US Treasury securities will have substantial ripple effects throughout the financial system. I don’t think our politicians have the slightest idea of the risks that they are taking.

Can’t pay their debt but somehow they can afford to send billions to Ukraine and leave billions worth of equipment in Afghanistan, this administration just keeps making things worst.
The US government absolutely has the financial capability to pay the debt. It's the self-imposed and frankly dumb, debt ceiling rule that's causing this issue.
No other country has this rule btw because once the legislative approves a budget, it's already a done case that the deficit in the approved budget will be borrowed.
@@chinguunerdenebadrakh7022 no other big country has this much debt except Japan which in future will not grow . It's economy has already stagnated. But can usa afford a stagnated economy? Concerning china, i don't think so. China has a debt of 76%of GDP
@@Leap6 dude, this rule wasn't implemented when the US debt was soaring in something like 2001, it was implemented in 1917 to make war spending easier. It was hijacked by Republican Party somewhere in the 80s and 90s to get what they want against Democrat presidents. It worked just fine without any threat of default for political gains for more than half a century.
And Japan's economy didn't stagnate BECAUSE of debt, Japan's debt increased because of stagnation. For more information, look up Abenomics.
The country spends 130% of its income and the Wall Street journal thinks this is just fine.
Excellent video although they forgot to mention how continuously raising the debt ceiling can make things worse in the end.
The must pay the debt. But they will have to cut spending. There are innumerable places to cut spending: CIA, NSA, Pentagon, Ukraine war, drug prohibition and global war, military bases around the world, the Fed, EPA, FDA, Education department, government student loans, government housing loans, and even getting rid of all those tax exemptions and credits giving to the richest on Earth.
Thank you for video 😊
Can't deny the fact that *VRI TOKEN* is the strongest bet to bring power back to this industry after we suffered FTX, Celsius, Tera and so on. Sure if they fail it's done for good, but I don't see that the biggest tech company in the world would put everything at risk just for that.
More money for the military! Refuse to lower healthcare costs! Tax cuts for the rich! Kickbacks for corporations! Let's go America!
Interesting consideration, have to consider digital land probably won't function like physical land obviously but I see application. The issue right now is no one can foresee where this space is heading. Metaverse is an obvious choice in purchasing land as it's backed by FB but when I bought my VR headset a lot of people didn't want to have any association with FB like having to create an account to access their VR profile. I think if fears of future pandemics persist people will be more willing to stay home and interact on VR for shopping and social events, not to mention viewing events in other countries without the costs of flying, etc. There's a lot of potential and opportunity to integrate with cryptocurrency when you deal with the right source like *VRI TOKEN* but there's probably a long way until a platform exists for it.
The debt ceiling literally shouldn't be a thing, AT ALL. If congress approved the spending as part of the regular budget, then it's approved. If we're concerned about the debt, by all means, let's look at ways to balance the budget. But imposing a ceiling is a remarkably stupid idea that routinely causes problems.
Well said. Just weaponized by political parties.
right now the US pays close to 25% of its entire tax revenue on interest payments for the 31 Trillion of debt we have. What do you think happens when the interest on the debt exceeds total tax revenue? Keep in mind, we are not paying down the debt by a single dollar. 1 trillion dollars just in interest. It is madness...
But we do pay it back to ourselves though. Nearly all of the debt is owned by US citizens.
Where did you get that info from? Annual interest payment is only $500 billion. Tax revenue is $4 trillion
In fact revenue is $5 trillion USD. you got your facts wrong buddy
@@reardelt - Probably got it from the same place conservatives get most of their info: An unsubstantiated post by some random person on the internet that confirms their bias.
You're confusing national debt with gov't debt...
I feel that the last bull run was bolstered by all the money being printed. Major returns next bull run but I think they will be tamer in my humble opinion. A 10x on *VRI TOKEN* is and a 15x on polygon are fair considering how much those two coins are interwoven into the entire crypto ecosystem
*VRI TOKEN* has the most potential to do more than X10. ETH and BTC will most likely do a X5-X6, but that's fine for me. Gotta look for better entry points while I stake IRIS and PGEN, then wait for Polygen's next raise as I also look at their new partnership with Kenzo Ventures.
Thank you!
Just... Raise the debt ceiling! Print more money! We can become more wealthy than Zimbabwe!
Nice piece of propaganda here. What I'm hearing is the value of existing dollars doesn't get inflated, gold goes up, and government spending is halted. Don't see any problems.
The problem this time is borrowing costs have gone up - so even if the debt ceiling is raised, the new debt will come with a higher price tag making future interest payments a bigger part of the federal budget. The other factor is the appetite for US debt is dwindling in a new world of dedollarization. If our trading partners don't want dollars now, why would they want future dollars which is what an IOU is.
Dedollarization is overblown. And the interest is getting more expensive has been true for decades.
The issue is cutting spending and cutting tax cuts. A lot just focus on the former.
And people need to prioritize budget surpluses or at least balanced budgets to congress /political candidates.
But I doubt it happens bc both parties (at least the GOP certainly) seem stuck in their distracting and toxic culture war.
If you keep printing money we don't have, and causing massive inflation it will not matter if we avoid a recession. I've lived through 15 recessions. It's a fact of life. The inflation we are seeing is 100x more devastating to 96% of the people than a 12% dip in the S&P. Almost everyone in this country possesses zero equities or bonds. I sold all of my stock to pay my rent.
At 34 years old I finally feel ready to settle down long enough to buy a house. Unfortunately due to previous horrible stupid life decisions, I'm forced to start with a zero balance in my savings account. On the bright side, the huge amount of debt - consequence of those bad decisions will be payed off next month,It's never too late to start saving like there's no tomorrow, and I'm really REALLY excited and motivated. Oh and Graham, fyi my emergency fund is also a done deal! by *VRI TOKEN* lol, i didn't made it myself
Borrowing to pay existing debt is insanity.
A very helpful video. Thank you. The core question is,,,
"Would the debt ceiling be raised?"
The answer is "of course". As tough as both sides are dragging out to demonstrate how uncompromising they are, reality will ultimately bring them back to their senses. The simply cannot allow a default to happen.
But there is another question that no one can answer..."Why raking up all these debts in the first place?" Before we can answer that question, there are multitudes of other questions that needed to be answered.
"Where is all that money gone to?"
"Is the US spending beyond its means?"
"Does the US have difficulties managing money?"
"Has the US grown too used to borrowing money?"
"Has the US's days being the centre of global financial system numbered?"
I think the two sides are crazy enough to pull the trigger this time.
So, basically what they're saying is, if there is a default, pretty much everyone is screwed. This hits close to home for me, since I'm a 17 year old guy in a working class household. Brrr...
2:26 explains why Germany can borrow for lower interest Rates (yes I know that the Euro area has lower interest Rates currently), but we're perceived to be risk free.
Super hyped for *VRI TOKEN* , a L3 DEX with native swaps between BTC, ETH, USDT, etc. (No more wrapped IOU's and massive gas fees)They use lightning and connext state channels which allow for zero gas fees, fast finality, and increased privacy. Main net coming supposedly soon, easy 100x.
You would think the fact that America has to keep having these last minute emergency debt ceiling rises more and more frequently would be a warning sign yet the financial markets are like "These guys are the best! 🤑'
It's like going for a mortgage and telling your bank you overspend every year but its okay because you just fight with your wife until they let you get another credit card!
I missed the spot where we discuss accountability. Please elaborate.
How about cut spendings and completely rely on tax revenues? Stop taking in additional debt and even pay down that old debt with surplus revenues? No one thinks that's the better way to go?
It’s a good show they do. A yearly thing now just like the Super Bowl
Happy to see some greens again. The last few days have restored my faith in crypto and made me believe we aren't down and out yet. Already started making some of the significant buys I've been planning for sometime now. Over the last few hours I've bought myself a good amount of *VRI TOKEN* , one of the tokens I'm really bullish on. because of it's potential and high utility.

"They did that back in 2011 (US Gov. Credit rating lowered by Standard and Poor"s) .... and it didn't have much effect back then." The reporter failed to look what happened in stock markets (crushed) nor the ripple effects in global markets as the de facto currency wobbled. Sometimes WSJ just makes ludicrous generalizations.
Think of the amount of money that could be raised if EVERYONE paid income taxes, The wealthy, corporations...... But the government seems to put most of the weight on the shrinking middle class.
With almost 60 years of age I kept my doubts on the current environment. But *VRI TOKEN* is seriously smart, it doesn't matter how old you are, this will provide for you and your family which is my only goal in the last years I have to make sure the children are fine
Credit scores are just a form of federal control, so if you want to continue living a good life? it’s important to have a high score. My house and vehicles are paid off, I have one Visa card for all purchases, which gives me air miles, and I pay it off monthly, but my score bounces between 800 and 820 without changing any of my patterns, so it’s manipulated for some reason. *VRI TOKEN* made it stay at that range and getting it up
If they are aware on both sides that defaulting on our bills is not an option why not getting it done and move forward
We started with bonds when I was a teen
Wwe can’t keep borrowing
Actually hard to believe that just one Man can actually destroy so many lives and our country as well.
Good one
My heart goes to the entire community for *VRI TOKEN* building up something even my grandpa can understand. This is so smart by them to launch it to shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk which is not even correct to begin with. Everyone knows the state of inflation and recession now and the way out is already in progress. Now it's just about catching the big fish
Stop sending money to Ukraine😠😠
One of the most stunning things I learned about modern economies is that money is created out of thin air when someone takes out a loan and goes into debt. I was well into my forties when I learned this about modern money. At first I did not believe it and it is certainly not what I was taught about money in my younger days. The money is created by entering numbers into the borrower’s account when the borrower takes out the loan. As the loan is paid back, the money that was created for the loan is eliminated and no longer exists, but the bank or financial institution that created the money gets to keep the interest that was paid. So, the more debt there is, the more money there is and the more interest that is paid to the bank. Modern money is mostly about getting governments, corporations, businesses and people into debt and there is also quite a bit of smoke and mirrors involved.
On the international level, debt has been used as a tool to gain power, status and influence over other countries for centuries. In the past century, the US perfected this technique. In the 21st century, China and some other countries have also learned this trick. The idea is to keep the borrowers continuously in debt so they can continuously keep paying interest to the “lenders”. The joke is that the money given out for the loans that make up this debt does not exist. It is basically a “fake loan” and to make the joke even better, to get a loan like this, most of us including governments of other countries have to put up some collateral, so if you default, they can take ownership of your collateral. So basically, they get whatever collateral you put up for free and with no risk since the money they “lent” you did not exist. Supposedly, this has been determined to be a legitimate way to do business! This is how the US has been able to be the dominant player in the world economy but is now being challenged.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the size of the economy which is the amount of money the economy is worth. When the economy is continuously growing, the GDP is also continually growing. Similar to any addiction, more and more borrowing is needed to have the same effect on economic growth. When the government debt starts to become greater than the value of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), technically it will no longer be possible to pay back the government debt. If it continues, the buying power of money will start to be significantly reduced and if the government debt starts to become several more times higher than the GDP, the money and financial systems will probably collapse. If this happens, the system is reset and the cycle is repeated. During the run up there will be some good times but, after the reset, times will probably not be good and war is also a possibility. This cycle has been repeated continuously throughout history from the Chinese Dynasties to the Roman Empire to Germany after World War One and to Argentina, Venezuela and to many African and Asian nations in the 21st century. Not sure if the US can avoid this cycle. If they can, they would be the first.
The idea and thinking that the economy always has to grow for there to be innovation, progress and prosperity may be a problem on a finite planet with limited resources and the focus now needs to be on sustainability not on growth! Presently if the economy is not growing, it is considered a failure. This type of thinking cannot go on uninterrupted on a finite planet with finite resources. There needs to be flexibility in the system for the economy to expand and contract and for a contraction to be considered normal and not a problem or a failure. The contraction needs to be just as prosperous and productive as the expansion. For this type of thinking to work, there needs to be some new economic theories and models developed along with some new types of money and financial systems based on economic sustainability not on economic growth and money inflation. I am sure there will be some Nobel prizes awarded to the academics, economists, corporate CEO's and business leaders and of course politicians and government officials that can figure out how to make a sustainable economy work and how not to devalue the nation’s money in the process.
The way this can begin and improve peace and fairness at the same time is when our business, government and academic leaders along with our wealthiest and brightest and smartest among us and this would include people making RUclips videos can learn to be much more truthful, honest and trustworthy and learn how not to be greedy and learn how not to become corrupt and along with a majority of us can start to understand that the wellbeing and happiness of others benefits everyone and is the bases for morality.
Well said
Amen brother, this needs to be taught at public schools so people aren't thinking such crazy wrong things like National Debt is good or raising the debt ceiling is acceptable.
@@MISTAKEWASMADE4live Yes, this does need to be taught in public schools. It is not difficult to understand and is actually pretty basic but they want to make it seem complicated.
Here is something ese to think about.
Whether governments borrow money that banks create or create the money themselves, there is no real value in this money. It will have value because we will probably have faith in the government and would be willing to work and exchange good and services for this money. This money will also have value because we will need it to pay our taxes. If our trust and faith in the government goes, so will our trust and faith in the money they create. If we do not have trust and faith in the government, we will not have a civil nation nor a civil economy and there will be some type of black market or anarchy based economy. I do not think this would represent progress.
Managing and controlling the nation’s money is how the government gets its power and is one of the most import jobs the government has right up there with national defense and protecting us from criminals and protecting our privacy. The privilege of creating the nation’s money should only be reserved for the government. Private banks should only be allowed to lend money that they actually have. If the banks do not have money to lend to businesses and corporations, the government can create this money and lend it to them instead of the private banks and the interest on these loans can be paid to the government, not to the private banks, which would be a nice source of government revenue and would probably result in lower tax rates.
If the government needs money for national defense or to build infrastructure or for any other government operations, they can simply create it themselves without borrowing money that the private banks create and going into debt and paying interest to the private banks. If the government creates all the money it needs, the government will not have a national debt and will not have to pay interest on the money it created. There will never be a “debt ceiling” because there will never be a debt!
what debt when your aircraft carriers and submarines can rob any country anytime
“America bad”
More importantly, they can stop anyone’s maritime carriers from being robbed at any time, meaning US is the security guarantor of global trade. If US military has to pull out, the middle class will crumple across the globe as global supply chains break. Not to say some wouldn’t be happy about that, but in many countries, the only thing that stands between now and outright political upheaval is a high enough standard of living made possible by said global supply chains. Some countries would be forced to revert to part-agrarian societies again.
US defaulting on its debt would be the end of the current order as we know it.

When those 7 million jobs were lost and $10 trillion was 'wiped out' in household wealth, where did that money go instead?
Does anyone question why it is that the economy revolves around debt instead of revolving around GDP or some other value? Debt, owing someone else money that was borrowed, might not be the best thing in the world to base an economy on. Just saying... :D
it is extremely profitable for lenders :)
@@kubli365 This is true. I saw a meme yesterday which is probably based on a much older saying and it was on-point. If you give a man a gun, he can rob a bank. If you give a man a bank, he can rob the world.
Im so sick of this argument. Just default on it already and build a sustainable system. When I started my finance degree I immediately understood how fake money is and how the entire economy is propped up on complete garbage.
It’s disturbing the US even has debt.
You lie. Your own graphics prove it. Even without borrowing, there is plenty of money. Take money away from those other programs to pay the debt. Tax receipts are more than enough. If failing to pay interest on time is so catastrophic (which it is), it is easily avoidable.
The government also has trillions in real assets it's holding that could be sold, such as federal lands.
Imagine all of the debtors seeing their own government default.

Or cut the military spending.

How about you cut down on spending rather than raising debt every year.
I must be crazy. I grew up thinking that if you want to build a business, you either save then start small and build up the company. Yes, you can borrow BUT, you have to pay your debt as soon as you can while growing your business and not borrow again. It's mental to run your business on debt. It's the same, it's madness to run your life on debt.
And that is the difference between a business and a country. Business are about making money. A country is about the people. It's why general business advice for new high school or college grads doesn't really apply at a macro scale.
@@SorqO Try running a country without money. It's a dare.

US national debt: 31.73 trillion USD!
Does anybody think that this amount could ever be repaid?
Of course, someday this pyramid will collapse. And the debt won't cost anything. But for now, everyone is interested in the status quo. China wants to sell its trillion-dollar junk to the US. Europe is also actively facilitating crutches.
No. Just the interest on the trillions.
Negative
Yes, but there is no need. The point at the federal level is to have a certain level of debt that can be balanced with deposits. If everyone kept money deposited our economy would grind to a halt.
the question is does US even want to pay it?
Why no one is questioning why we have to keep raising the debt ceiling. It's a shame that fiscal discipline is not maintained.
The debt limit should be tied to GDP, and there will be temporary consequences, but continuously selling bonds to raise money is not a good option.
Love how WSJ presents their opinion as fact. A better question is what does the US do when the dollar is worthless and the productive economies, China, India, Russia, etc no longer execute trade or hold dollars in reserve.
The U.S. is among the world’s largest producers of oil, IP, health products, weapons, aircraft and a lot more. China is the only contender among the countries you mentioned now. India will be one day. Russia will be forgotten.
