Brilliant, but of course from 2008 we know the rating agencies can NOT be trusted Also derivatives and a certain German Bank. Their exposure is crazy. Will reply in 2nd line
Stop quoting Elon the biggest recipient of govt subsidiaries.
It is business as usual, no urgency, no worries, kicking the can down the road and expecting the future generations to deal with the problem. This is frankly irresponsible.😂
And immoral.
The future is now.
@@deepsleep7822 Like the past. Realising it one realises eterntiy. Do you?
Politicians like Ron Paul, never get any traction with the electorate. People vote for it.
There is no plan to repay the debt and it never will be repaid.
thank you for another honest video, glad your out there spreading truth !
Without the USD as the foremost world reserve currency and being proped up and manipulated in the Forex and Commodities markets, the rating for the USA by Moody should be BBB or BBB+. If the USD were to collapse, any future bond/treasury auction would entail an even higher interest to attract lenders/buyers and this goes into a self destruct cycle just like any heavily indebted country.
This is everywhere. China Canada mexico the UK and the whole EU. Where does one turn to
Lena, you gotta say something about China's economic stimulus as China's economic growth contributes one third to global economic growth.
'We learn from history that we learn nothing from history." George Bernard Shaw
One can ask oneself where "history" actually takes place.
What is history?
@@tugilevy8139if governor are sovereign, why the need of central banks in most countries? Who owns all central bank ? BIS or some supra international cartels.🎉🎉🎉
A Good one. Thanks.
@@tugilevy8139 The history of Humanity.
What we wish upon others we receive ourselves. We reap what we sow. The last video clip was epic. Thanks, Lena.
Basically hinting at trying to collapse the World's strongest REAL, PRODUCTIVE economy. That lady doesn't realise that China already CAN obliterate the US economy in minutes (albeit at a significant cost to China too) Sell off ALL UST holdings, crash the market, bye bye US economy.
A classic case of self projection!
That's the former Gov of Texas, if you can't beat them fairly....anything for the win!
Karma
First reply deleted (to "protect" the YT viewers I suppose 🙂). Best of luck destabilising the world's largest (and smartest) production economy.
Forget about our "children and grandchildren" being devastated, it's going to be ALL of us, and very soon..
West squandered it's blessings,
Time, TIme, Time....simply out of Time...
Very true.
With all the talks of war and nukes, broken economy etc, can't wait to see what happens first
get right with Christ , call upon the Lord, you will be saved!
B@@davidt9339...aaah, it's just letters...next letter to describe all of us being homeless is just z....credit for z will be a' to sell your heart and lungs just to keep up with the regression🙄🙄....p.s its not global!
usa has zero intention of paying off the debt.
The banks have every intention to have the debt repaid though, and they will win.
That's why they knowingly create inflation, with the very intention of inflating debts away with currency debasement. Biden even said as much in his verbal stoush with Peter Doocey a couple of years ago; "Inflation's Great".
I'm 56 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
In the 80's my Dad worked a modest job, Mom stayed at home and raised the kids, and they lived a nice middle class lifestyle including owning a home. Nowadays both I and my partner works and can barely afford to make ends meet. Soon the kids and family dog will need to work to keep this household going. It's the destruction of the American dream right before our eyes.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
I was a late bloomer,but Mary Callahan Erdoes Services, my financial advisor helped me bring it all together and got me into crypto. Now retired for 6 years at 72, my managed portfolio with Tracy generates about 9k a month on average more than my RMD on my retirement accounts. Not real big, but together with SS we're able to live reasonably with 160k a year. While being mortgage free.
She is really a good investment advisor. Was privileged to attend some of her seminars.that's how I started my own crypto investment
The last video clip exposed the dark ..insecurity ..hopelessness and fantasied illusions to bring down China but unfortunately
she is sleep walking into the abyss of the ocean ...
That's the kind of negative mentality that will push America in to a dark age. There will be a lot of pain for the Americans, but hopefully it won't create a huge collateral damage around the world.
Sounds like a good plan, Ms US Ambassador to the NATO, but you don't seem to realize that your country is way ahead of China on the road to that tragic end. Keep living in your fantasy land. 😂
I hope china will publicly share the last part of the video clip in china state news media, inside china there are still people thinking that the west is an angel 😂
Yes, I laughed at her delusion. The IMF has already reported that China and her primary trading partners is now a larger network than the USA / Germany / Japan and their primary trading partners. Israel's recent actions are only going to accelerate that shift.
A country with a poor future.
Fortunately we are not countries but individuals.
Maybe, but compared with Germany, China, Russia, Italy and France it is less poor. Tell me a nation with a bright future?
…effecting all of us in the rest of the world 😢
@@johnbaker5565Brics countries, many of them starting from the bottom can only go up, they may have a bright future. The West, starting from the top will mostly have a dark future. Hopefully Australia, Norway, Canada which all have lots of commodities and living space will have a bright future.
Denmark which has Greenland, and if the ice on top of the island melts, may also have a bright future. Greenland was populated by the Vikings a thousand years ago but then it got cold again...
@@larsh2923 When Westerners get into generational debt to pay smugglers to sneak into BRICS countries you may have a point. it is the other way around. Notice this lady never analyses the Russian Economy as what can she say? Food inflation in double digits, interest rates at 19% Labour shortage, skills shortage and sanctions. Not so different to Tenant Media. she is right about Western economies, they are indebted and fragile. No one is lying flat in the garbage time of history though.
I have this strange feeling we’re flying this economy into the mountains on purpose.
Exactly
in 2019 we reached he tipping point. liquidity trap. ... what is running since is obvious ... controlled demolition is better as a sudden collapse - and in case ordo ab chao will not work out, the options are now ready as well ...
Exactly
Yep, a lot of people believe that.
We're not the boss in the material world, God's infallible law of karma is. That's why never ever anything goes wrong. 🎯
Countries have been spending tomorrow's money yesterday. Can-kicking eventually reaches the end of the road . . .
We are not there yet. Maybe tomorrow.
That's how a ponzi scheme is supposed to work.
Those this would mean reducing spending in the areas that have no roi: such as military bases overseas; supporting the war in Ukraine; and supporting Israel.
I disagree that the forced "Investment" using tax payers' money by the government has no return, it's just that the return does not come back to us, it comes back to MIC's pocket. I hope people see through that.
All great ideas.
It is a basic one. But when the "leadership" has crazy goals that don't align with foremost national interest, they don't care about the citizens, then it is just a matter of time when disaster hits.
Nothing will improve and it doesn’t matter what party’s in office. 🐕
Well, that's probably correct. Certainly the 2 parties that run the country are NOT going to fix it.
Trump spent money like a drunk sailor. I think he added 8 trillion in 4 years.
Because they are own by Corporation = Corporate Totalitarianism
At least with Mr T we have a chance.
@@beadblaster9508 Trump did not do it by himself!
Yeah that last scenario not happening cause China has BRICS now and they moving full speed ahead
There is always a plan B:
WWIII
@@smobach Especially since there are a number of well-placed individuals in the US Military who really DO think a nuclear war is "winnable" for the USA.
@@smobach US not capable of fighting China. She couldn’t even handle Afghanistan for sh@# sakes. The whole EU is having her handful with Russia. What WW3?
@@phils4634And a bunch of religious zealots that want the battle of Armageddon so they will be taken up in the rapture.
@smobach that's moving full speed ahead already .... remember, Russia is the military might behind BRICS not China. Hence the Ukraine proxy war
Thank you so very much for this powerful and important information! 🌟
When individuals are not held accountable, there is no accountability.
Exactly
There are only 535 people in the house and senate who are doing this. Lets just replace them with good people!
This is literally spending other peoples money, to a T.
It is. "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." Margaret Thatcher.
No US politician talks about homelessness, astronomical national debt and a dwindling middle class. They only talk about sending more weapons to Ukraine, standing behind Israel, defending Taiwan. All they are interested in are helping other countries.
The kids and grandkids are simply not going to pay. The debtors are not getting their money. That means the dollar , which is debt, is worth nothing. Only gold and silver are actually valuable. Hurrah for us. We're utterly broke.
Mostly true. During 2028, precious metals, food, DNA, and blood will possess real value. One will understand the position of DNA and blood value after the "Kissing" virus is released. The virus release date is set for the third quarter 2025.
It's bad state of affairs now spending money on war's some one needs to wake up
Yes, the people of America.
@@annettajensen6751 Yeah? They are not the ones with the power. It the politicians. Most don't care & don't know how to care for this country. It is tough now after so much damage been done due to crazy, costly actions without foresight & proactive, comprehensive thinking. You cannot run a country by arrogance.
If they wake up they cant have the murica dream.
What an excellent fortune telling by Kay Bailey Hutchison! She only missed to pin point the correct country.
She is describing US when US dollar ceased to be the reserve currency.
Then why do those ratings agencies assign an AA+ or AAA rating to the US? Moody's is hypocritical.
Moody is CIA...
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of 23k per month even though I barely trade myself. Thanks to Miss Keira Watson for her helpful guides.
You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment.
Same here me and two other friends of mine immediately tried it, we testified, she is a performance of Wonder.
I was skeptical at first till I decided to try. Its huge returns is awesome. I can't say much
please educate me, I've come across this name before, Now i'm interested
How can I get in touch with her?
Our politicians are idiots
Nothing is more dangerous than idiots.
Biggest problem Jews of USA senators
No No NO.... they know what's going on and they are preparing and so should we. It can not be stopped.
Muppets of elites.
But they are smart to trade Stocks especially NANCY.
How does that lady at the end sleep at night? Her moral compass is depleted. She should be ashamed of herself. I'm in shock! Does she like being robbed????
***CLEAR SIGNS OF DESPERATION***
Just throwing it out there that she wants to rob China. Pathetic!!!!
It's called sociopathy. Many of our leaders suffer from the condition.
@@Lyra0966I would call it psychopath
It's hilarious how what she wants for China is what is happening to the west instead.
Kay Bailey Hutchison, typical self professed China analyst, who doesn't understand or know China, giving her 2 cents worth.
The late, brilliant maths professor, Al Bartlett, once stated,
"The greatest shortcomings of the human species is it's inability to understand the exponential function". Looking at that graph of recent federal interest payments, it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that the trajectory is moving rapidly in to an exponential phase. And if that is the case, the US will soon either have to default on its liabilities or suffer the mother of all economic corrections. It can not for too much longer continue to service a debt burden that before too long will be doubling every few years.
Prepare for impact.
Once we stayed in the hotel which didn't have heating and the staff feedback to the company and my boss reply to ask for extra blanket. However, the blanket was thick and heavy. When I heard the suggestion coming from a boss who had a science degree. I quiped to my colleague who related to me ( I was away from the meeting), "exponential suffocation."
The signs have been there clear & loud.
Not possible anymore to conceal the seriousness of the situation. Thanks for the update.
It is bad. Russia and China are worse. Russia has crazy inflation and 19% and China has deflation, property bubble collapse and consumer boycott.
Smelly wound
The Emperor has no clothes!!
Putin wears very nice and expensive suits. and elevated shoes.
@@johnbaker5565 Yeah and Putin's bodyguards 'collect his poo on trips abroad' in suitcases.
@@aloksrivastava7938 Do you pay them to have this sacred stuff in your collection to sniff at your pleasure? Does it stink bad?
@@johnbaker5565 Hmm... It was in the news. Verify it yourself.
Deficits don’t matter, Dick Cheney.
No politician is coming to save you.
Proverbs 25:19 KJB Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
How true !
At what point is the US credit rating downgraded again?
You watched "The big short" right? credit ratings will be obsolete soon.
In my opinion moves in market have to be precise at times like this, the US economy is already putting pressure on everyone’s pockets so moves have to be thought with precision. Move wisely
Investment and trading in this economy is a living hell at times for the average person that wants full control of their finances, Even investing in EFT stocks can be very much risky. Without a financial advisor to tailor strategies and optimize plans for better outcomes for your investments, people miss out on potential investment opportunities that could change the game for them.
Honestly, I realized after five years that attempting to predict market outcomes through chart analysis was futile due to the unpredictable nature. My lack of a mentor led to six years of struggle. I transitioned to following the market's direction and adopting a straightforward, disciplined approach.
I will like to ask, How did you achieve it? I been trying to stick with index funds. I feel this new interest rates hikes could crash this economy. I'm looking out for a better investing strategy, I have a lump sum that inflation is steady eating up.
Well Nancy Magaret Delony is the licensed expert I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
thanks for putting this out, it has truly rekindled the fire to my goal..
Abraham Lincoln said, "America will never be defeated from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedom, it will come from within". Do you think that is where we are now in America? I do…especially if Kamala wins! 😰
Doesn't really matter whom wins.
The US is broke & the $$$ is dying a slow death. 😮
Gonna happen no matter who is running the show
Trump: (apparently) alludes to the end of voting on his watch.
Biden: slots his VP into the presidential race in his stead.
Somehow, ppl miss that these are one and the same.
In fact, they say they're happy she's in the race, totally ignoring the bypass of primary elections, wherein they would have chosen their prospective future president from a pool of candidates.
Yes, I think that's where you are now, in America.
US politics is so dysfunctional on all fronts right now, except for wars and money printing, I doubt anything will get fixed until its far too late.
No our government is evil and corrupt .
This was all planned by both parties
All Western Politics make the same desaster!

You don't have to listen to her to know what's the west 's intention towards China. That's why sanctions being implemented.
Yeah right!
why Moody don't downgrade USA Govt. ???
lol
whoever downgrade them will get sanction.
@@Utube1024 100%
Spending is out control and unstoppable. 750 military installations around the world is more important than anything. 😂😂😂
It was, perhaps now it is time to close many. US chose to lead multiple global alliances in Europe and Asia.. It can no longer afford to do so. Make this clear and allow allies to prepare for US withdrawal so not to have another farce like the retreat from Afghanistan.
This will mean tearing up nuclear non proliferation treaty. Without US assistance, nations like Japan, South Korea, Poland will develop nuclear weapons, so will others like Saudi Arabia, which can purchase from Pakistan
Crazy. Paranoia.
... The last clip, what planet is that lady living on?
probably Uranus....LOL
Always excellent reporting !
Thank you Lena for yet another going downhill report😶 You're very good and explain everything with facts👍🧡
How will anybody fix this? It won't be done.
There are always solutions but you can’t see people as enemies and must accept facts.
Dictatorship is just around the corner.
It’s probably going to involve blood.
No. Back to the drawing board. Back to basics.
Revise the destructive guiding tenets that have been used, leading to demise.
22Oct24 the day when 159 countries linked to BRICS suddenly stop using Dollars for their trade settlements. Either using their own sovereign currency or BRICS Gold-backed currency.
Terrific podcast Ms. Petrova Thank you!
SPOT ON LENA.
WE KEEP MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES OVER AND OVER , AND HOPEFULLY
HAVE A DIFFERENT OUTCOME .
Governments never learn, only it's people, OK.
When one is more concerned with one's neighbor flourishing and exhausting all resources to sabotage and destroy the neighbor, whilst neglecting to find ways to develop and improve oneself, then one is bound to self-destruct.
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
There you go. It is bad karma, fuelled by envy, leading nowhere, but to spiritual nihil.
Too little to late! There is no coming back from where We are!
Ah, so refreshing that the plan of the US is the famed Tonya Harding approach. Good thing to know the "world's leader" is relying on good old fashioned chicanery to prevail.
Thanks Lena. I don’t know who that woman was at the end of the video talking about China but she was hilarious!
Not funny at all - she is pure evil.
Cut spending ? When we have the easy access printing machine ?? Nay, we need to print$$$$ more than ever to spend spend spend.
Great work Lena
Obama- "We are going to fundamentally change America!" "Joe has the ability to F things up!" Check... 😊
Were to hide when debt flood breaks the dam?
rating agency's are being very complacent because it is the US, if it were another country the rating would no longer have any A , at most BBB+.
What do you expect when those rating agencies are from US . 😂
Government will never stop spending money
Well, your government -- if you're an American -- is not going stop spending. Late Empire mental illness .... 😂
Taxpayers citizens dollars 😢
@@class1188 that's never gonna stop
Yes. But you have to spend within your means
They will have to.
When Have We Ever Heard the Words Responsibility and Government in the Same Sentence??🤔
Bottom line greed in government is destroying the country. 😭
Goverments are just tools for mega corporations banks and military + Pharma industry. It's all one big illusion what they are selling and as long you believe in goverments the heist keep going. Schools are falsely promoted as education centers when they actually are just brainwashing you to be good member of society. We are so deep in ignorance and stupidity that it's almost impossible to turn the boat anymore,especially when technology and AI are taking over. Making us totally ingorant and endless path of idiocrazy.
The vultures are salivating, at the end of the next downturn they will own absolutely everything. Value means nothing when you own everything.
THEY are NOT divided, if THEY didn't make up sides THEY'D have no game. THEY don't produced stuff just money? NUMBERS? Ying/Yang or in America Ding/Dong.🤔🌍✌✌
THANKS, DOC !!!
Donnie announcing to impose a 100% tariff on goods from countries that stop using the US dollar in international trade, is liken to digging one's own grave.
The US Fed has just begun to slash interest rates way back down to near zero again, which will cut US interest payments to near zero. As a result, the dollar will weaken while gold & stocks rise.
Time for the fiat system to go. ❤
Unfortunately it is how the system works. No reason by the "deciders" to seriously change this. Do you actually think social welfare and defense comes from clear air?
Unacceptable things should not be pursued & tolerated.
Brace for impact
In massive 'debt' to the institution that magically creates money out of thin air. ...lmao
It looks like America is following the paths of deteriorating economies: UK, Japan, Canada... where the qualities of lives suffered from weakening of trade competitiveness
as a whole.
If we are printing money, why are we borrowing money????????????????
To pay back what we borrow. Can't be cutting the cronies out of the plunder. It's laundering, on an industrial scale, and it's been going on for decades.
Excellent explanation of our nation economy by the " Economist Doll " . Thank you .
She is the best & smartest.
Some economists don't understand their trade as much as a layman,
yet they have a big head. - I'd shut up in their place.
The rapidity of removal of "non pro-Establishment" channels on YT is growing. Fortunately you are also on Rumble which appears safe for the moment. US National Debt on track to be $35.5 Trillion by the end of this month. As use of the US$ decreases with the roll out of such systems as Tether, mBridge and others, how long before the Ratings Agencies show some honesty, and rate the US as basically junk bond status.
I'm in the money printing business and I see boom times ahead. So I'm seriously stocking up on green ink and ordering another few hundred printing machines from China.
China will now start stimulus at the same time selling off its treasuries driving up the yield. All the fed bankers can buy them to keep the bond rate under control. That is very inflationary for Shure.
US is spending too much time and money thinking about destroying other countries. Instead, they should help new entrepreneurs to bring new, innovative products to market. Like the next Apple, Amazon, Tesla

US economic crashing is public knowledge but when ???, IMO 22Oct24
Hello good morning 🎉
Moody's warned about the spending nearly two years ago with no action being taken. Although Moody's is probably right do you really expect anything to be done? It took our nation nearly 2 centuries to amass 1 trillion dollars of debt. Now that is our yearly interest ??? Crazy.
This is the same Moody's that couldn't see any trouble with MBSs and CDOs in 2007?
Thank you, Lena.
Todos concordam que o déficit de 35 trilhões de dólares é insustentável e que os EUA precisam reduzir os gastos.
O problema é que ninguém aponta QUAIS gastos precisam ser cortados.
Pois bem, sou um pacifista convicto, imbuído de elevado senso de humanidade e justiça social, já que estes são valores que melhor representam a sacralidade da vida.
Por sua vez, entendo que os custos com máquinas e estruturas belicistas, que só enriquecem os complexos militares, encarnam a irracionalidade, a incivilidade e a estupidez da banalização da morte e do mal.
Portanto, em pleno século 21, fomos capazes de proezas tecnológicas grandiosas que consumiram orçamentos trilionários, algumas com o potêncial estúpido de ameaçar a nossa própria extinção, contudo, negando a nosso próprio dom de espécie inteligente, continuamos sem vencer a miserabilidade da fome, as doenças mais triviais, universalizar a educação e proteger a nossa única casa viável do abismo climático.
A humanidade ao desconfiar de si mesma, simplesmente gasta mal e aprofunda as desigualdades que realimenta a crise e o espírito da ganância desmedida, que justamente requerem aparatos de segurança e defesa que consomem os recursos mais vultuosos, se transformando assim no elo mais estúpido da corrente dos déficits.
Condos in Florida are 80 percent worthless now..
"Whistling past the graveyard" We've been doing that for decades!
The stage is being set for the introduction of the “cashless” digital currency , controlled by “government” for the purpose of “instantly” taxing and “controlling” every cent that may or may not pass from one hand to the other.
I have a feeling that at some point , bartering will be deemed an illegal activity .
The EU has already floated these proposals as they encourage their economies collapse.
Can you imagine when they go to digital currency,the usa will not have to print money . They can just put a number for money into the economy .
That "ambassador" at d end clip basically wants Chinese to starve. Evil.
Dollar caused. (Conversion/mafai/drugs/regime change/war confront/massive people death/pandemic)....take life the most....nothing else....😂
American consumers are increasingly terrified as the inevitability of economic collapse looms, leaving them feeling powerless and at risk of losing everything. Meanwhile, silver and gold stackers will flourish, as their investments in precious metals provide a safe haven and a pathway to wealth amidst the chaos.
If you are stacking gold and silver as an American you better be prepared to live the country in the worst case scenario. Remember during the great depression American confiscated all gold and silver bullion overnight.
Thx Lena
the last clip
is that granny live in a sewer or a rock with patrick star?, or nobody telling her that everybody is go to china, will ford and GM next
Anyone who says our kids will pay this debt is an idiot. The debt can never be paid. Be realistic.
I dont understand why TH-cam doesn't show me when you post your new videos. Like I have to go and search for your channel and then I get to see you posted new videos
Everybody knows about the debt and the addition to the debt in the US every year, facing crisis after crisis but never downgrades it because the 3 main credit rating agencies are based in the US
Insane, doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
Thank you Lena.
Delete the debt bc it was created out of nothing & backed by nothing
Get rid of the FED
CANNOT CUT SPENDING ....but..... Collapse/recession or something EITHER WAY
