national debt
It really is hard to find the words to describe the true horror of the national debt of the U.S. The U.S. government has been on the greatest debt binge in all of human history, and a day of reckoning is coming that is going to be so painful that it is going to shock America to the core.

The United States has enjoyed the greatest party in the history of the world, but now this decades-old party is ending and the bills are coming due.

Frankly, there is a conspiracy of silence about the truth but there are ways to become better informed. Words: 868

We are no longer on the edge of the abyss; we have fallen into it head first… [Let me explain.] Words: 2311

We are being bombarded daily with breathy articles about a United States groaning under deficits that surely signal bankruptcy, Social Security checks that eventually won’t clear, and of course a looming financial crisis…Much of this commentary is well written – it certainly is popular – but it is total nonsense.

The handwriting is on the wall: This great dollar disaster is only just beginning. Obama and Bernanke have no choice. Either they dramatically devalue the dollar over the next three years, or they go down in history as the first administration to default — to welch on the government’s debt obligations. Words: 1781

Financial pundits have been cheering the declining U.S. trade deficit, but they should be careful what they wish for. Once the U.S. is no longer running a huge trade deficit, then all those exporter nations will no longer have hundreds of billions of dollars floating around, looking for a home in Treasury bonds. Interest rates are about to start rising, and will continue rising for a generation Words: 782
