And soon. The problem with this prediction of doom is that there seems to be several ways to calculate national debt and GDP (gross domestic product). Here's one calculation that claims the US is well past the point where paying our debts is possible: <https://www.usdebtclock.org> It's not just the US, but also that most other countries are over-extended: <https://www.usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html> Which country will be the first to go under and which ones will remain afloat the longest? More interesting is who does the US owe money? <https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2024/08/the-federal-government-has-borrowed-trillions-but-who-owns-all-that-debt> 2/3 of the US national debt is held by the Federal Reserve. Is the Federal Reserve going to foreclose on debts owed to themselves? -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
