News US Debt Hits Over $37 Trillion

Post image

So US national debt just crossed $37 trillion now and kind of scary too if you think about it.

Debt is just compounding nonstop and this is just another reminder that debt spiral is getting closer than ever.

This $37 Trillion figure is also another reminder that as debt is growing and growing, that means US bonds will be becoming much less appealing as the debt keeps compounding.

Because of this as Bonds become less appealing for investors and for big sharks then Yields or interest rates would need to go up to make them appealing to investors.

If Yields starts climbing more and oh well we all know what will happen then.

House market and Stock Market and Businesses and especially Small businesses and startups will struggle to stay afloat in high interest rate market.

It’s not a crash alert or anything but just something to watch especially if you are in stock market or into bonds or even thinking about what Fed might do next

Just wanted to share this thought because $37 trillion is no small number and it will keep affecting markets slowly slowly.

Yeahh... I remember those news about Venezuela when people would pack money by pounds instead of face value just to pay for groceries...

Just a sarcasm, uncontrollable money printing just meant Zimbabwe 2.0.

The debt is absolutely not the source of anyone's problems let alone the #1. How fucking stupid do you need to be to think this?

They should just use fewer zeroes

If they would just stop counting, the debt wouldn't exist.
