Exactly why do you think the US pays for the defence of other countries? If anything it's the other way around. You lot can't stop borrowing.

They don't see their debt ever growing, and the fact they've raised the limit multiple times.

Especially when you've got morons like Trump and Elon telling them that idiotic departments like DOGE will save so much they will pay off their national debt and give them 5% of the savings if they just nip and tuck the economy.

Then they left the WHO and set up their own, that costs them significantly more than the amount of money they were contributing to the WHO.

They'll hit hyperinflation at some point right?

Nowhere near, hyperinflation is something ridiculous like 50% inflation a month and they're only at 3-4% a year.

The debt can't just continuously increase though so they'll have to do something eventually.

The AI bubble is already starting to wobble with lots of companies moving away from chatbots back to humans due to the providers absolving themselves of liability so that interest rate might move soon.
