      Objectively speaking US has been living in debt since about late 70s or early 80s, leveraging it power and influence, combined with nobody wan ting to be first to separate itself from US-lead system, despite everybody knowing how broken it was. And then Russia was forcefully separated and did not collapse. In fact it is doing better than before sanctions. This is the end for US hegemony in financial, economical and diplomatic sector.
      World does not need dollars. world is no longer afraid of US aging military and world does not need US to mediate for other countries.
      And what Washington is doing? They just double down again and again, still pretending that they are not just strongest player on world stage, but only player on this level. And then try to leverage this delusion in dealing with others. Despite everyone seeing that it holds just pair of twos, not pocket aces, as US pretends it does.

    Thing about infrastructure and amortization, if you do not spend constantly small amounts on maintenance, eventually you will gonna have to spend 3+ times the value of a new project on it. Because first you will gonna have to strip and scrap everything, as it has degraded beyond repair. Then you will have to find something to do with all this crap, half of which will be toxic. And then you will have to account for the losses due to infrastructure not being available for duration of this whole process and domino effect that it would have on adjacent industries.

When it reaches it's true intrinsic value , which is zero , everything it's been sustaining will cease to function . We already see this in closed businesses , bankruptcy , and a huge non working , non functional society . The end of money creation with nothing to back it up , is destruction .

    The most devastating consequence of the rapidly increasing national debt of USA for the population of USA is the massive rapid increase of the transfer of wealth from the 98% of the U.S. population to the extremely rich 2% of the population.
    Indeed, every year, the U.S. government pays close to one trillion dollars as interest to the holders of U.S. debts. For this payment, the government uses the taxes collected from the population of USA.
    Foreign countries hold approximately 20% of the U.S. national debts while the remaining 80% are held by the 2% rich American individuals and American banks and other financial institutions which are themselves owned and controlled by the extremely rich 2% of the population.
    So, each year, the US government pays to foreign entities around 200 billion dollars while the extremely rich US 2% get around 800 billion dollars. This means that, each year, the 2% become wealthier by 800 billion dollars while the 98% become poorer by almost one trillion dollars.
    This is how, the high national debt of US contributes to the increasing disparity in wealth between the 2% and the 98%.
    Now, the next question that we must ask is who are the 2% of the population? Almost all of them, or at least, the great majority are the tiny community of Jews in USA.

    There are only two ways this ends. Either the USA will default on the debt which will tank the dollar, or the Fed will try to print it away which will result in hyperinflation, and that will also tank the dollar.

The government has been infiltrated and subverted for over 100 years. As soon as the Federal Reserve was put in place, which isn't actually a part of the government, but a private bank, our downfall began. I honestly can't understand how the wheels haven't fallen off already. We are controlled by people in the shadows. I honestly think it's too late to be saved.

    I want to use an example that is totally out of the left field. I want to tell you a story about the recovery of a very heavy mining machine from a shaft. And this is a real story.
    A piece of mining equipment fell into the bottom of a very deep shaft. So a heavy Front End Loader was used to haul it to the surface. The idea was to attach a long steel cable to the loader, and then drive slowly forward towards the shaft, lower the cable as it goes. Once the cable reached the stricken machine at the bottom of the shaft, it would hook up to it and the loader would reverse to pull the cable upward.
    The idea was simple as well as brilliant, but...
    As the loader moved forward closer to the shaft, and as more cable was lowered into the shaft, suddenly the net weight of the cable within the shaft became heavier than the weight of the loader and the power it put out. So slowly and steadily, the loader was pulled into the shaft by the weight of the cable !
    So what has this got to do with the US debt? Imagine the net debt being the cable within the shaft. As more and more debt is being piled up, it overcomes the revenues, and eventually the entire economy goes down. Debts have overcome the earning power.

    It's almost like capitalism can only be sustained so long as the central hub can continue to afford it's outward expanse, but in order to maintain that expansion the energy of the security and military exceeds that of the national welfare...
    And yet they'll say "socialism doesn't work"... And imperial capitalism does? Every empire falls by the exact same pattern time and again throughout history.
    Something which the people of Britain tried to explain to both politicians in the UK and the US from 2003 onwards.
    Watching the UK make this mistake has been the most tragic thing of all. America is a relatively new nation and hasn't suffered the same history of rises and falls that the British islands have known. You'd think that the UK politicians and aristocracy would have learned this lesson by now. But nope, seems not, and the outcome is going to be severe.
    From the dust new power struggles, and from there a new empire will start the exact same pattern all over again.
    The insanity of this, when viewed historically is soul-crushing.
