      As long as the US dollar remains the world’s reserve currency our debt will be sustainable, certainly at its current and near term level. But therein lies the danger of this administration. It’s policies are undermining the very faith in the US dollar and global hegemonic leadership that built the current rules based economic order. As the US’s trustworthiness and dependability crumble, as we slip further into isolation and nationalism, the more we open the door to China to take the stage and push our allies into regional alliances that undermine the dollar’s preeminence. Some of this might be a good thing. But it won’t help us underwrite our growing debt.

      While Jamie Dimon keeps putting more money in his pockets.

      Jamie Dimon’s total compensation for 2024 was $39 million, an increase of 8.3% from the previous year. I can only assume it’ll be more this year.

      What a surprise… pretty much what one would expect when you put a convicted criminal in the White House. I worry the most that in desperation it could lead to an attempt to use expansionism as a way to solve a badly failing economy. I wouldn’t put anything past this insane administration at the point.

      I am pretty sure we have *been* broke for a *long* time, considering that aside from a very brief bit during the Clinton years we have had to borrow to meet our obligations for *generations*.

      There is am anecdote where a millionaire is asked how he went bankrupt…his response „slowly and then all at once“

      Slowly? Skyrocketing to heights never seen before is not „slowly“

      Are we going broke? Compare the debt to the wealth held by our top 10 percent…1 percent?

      Gee, if only there had been historical evidence that punitive tariffs and rampant nationalism would go poorly.

      If the current administration knew how to read, _and_ they knew anything about history…

      Ah yes debt, another reason republicans always give for voting republican. And never look at facts.

      I think we’re in a massive debt bubble right now. The debt is the form of retirement commitments, low taxes, and corporate subsidies. This is on top of a dwindling workforce percentage due to demographic changes. It appears that due to a lack of cultural will we’re choosing to have the bubble pop all at once rather than deflate slowly over time. I think it’s going to be painful.

      but wait, I thought the tariffs were going to bring trillions back to the US economy? That is what the clown said during his election, right?
      What a fucking joke.

      He’s trying to destroy the middle class in order to make us all indebted slaves. And he wants to destroy the lives of anyone who didn’t vote for him while doing the same for those who did. It doesn’t matter if u need voters when your just taking over the country for Putin

      You know how venture capitalists buy a company and loot all of the assets for short term gains and then bankrupt the company? That’s what the GOP and oligarchs are doing to the USA.

      America could easily balance its books if the political system wasn’t beholden to billionaires and corporations

      Tariffs aren’t a fucking revenue. They’re a tax on the citizens for shit brought in from over seas. It’s a net negative for the coffers of the American people.

      GOP: slowly? Hold my beer (which was sent back from Canada because nobody wants it there).
