Reminder: very rarely do the politicians suffer for their greed, mismanagement and corruption. It’s always the worst off and the average Joe that gets hit with the consequences. Translation: if you want change you need to be adopt the mindset that politicians should be afraid of you and upsetting you, rather than being afraid of not getting elected.
We just need to stop voting career democrats back into office. Between Biden and Obama they added roughly $12 trillion MINIMUM to the existing $34 trillion debt during their tenure as President and that is just insane to think about…..
The system is actually designed to never be able to be paid off. Simply because if our government borrows $1 from the Fed, they owe that dollar back plus interest which by default means more money needs to be printed to pay off the original debt because they only borrowed $1 originally. Yes, they literally need to take on more debt to pay off their existing debt. That was designed into the system on purpose.
Print money out of thin air and be the only supply. Charge interest. Literally money is made up by the shepherds. The whole world is an illusion of freedom.
Myth #1: the US government owes $34T. “Well it turns out there’s actually more, in the form of unfunded obligations, that totals somewhere between $135T - $220T”
Even when the inflation makes easy for governments to pay of thier debt. Still they have to take more debt to keep the same spending. Instead of spending 7 trillion. They have to spend 21 trillion to keep up with inflation. This doesn't make any sense. You can't explain inflation and debt like this.
Yes, they would need to take on bigger debts, but the thing is that the old debts, the ones which are decreased are going to have to be paid off first. So, the US goverment doesn't want to stop the train rolling even if the number gets higher and higher.
It's like we're buying drinks all around. We had to borrow to get through the year. This year we're buying drinks all around and ignoring last year's debt.
Ah you started to realize that the word "professional" actually means "ripoff" Well realize all this stems from our prestigious "college educated" crowd which essentially they get ripped off to go to school all to avoid physical labour. So now they gotta rip off us blue collar workers to make their money back. Meanwhile Ivr made $15 an hour for last 5 years and am told to make it work - cut my budget.
i remember learning in high school during the 90s that the national debt was around $2 trillion, approaching $3trillion. now we're at $34 Trillion. that's insane. my Economics teacher told us that there would be no money for our retirements. I doubted at the time, but now i believe it.
Hijacking top comment, but when are we going to actually start talking about the problem aka fractional reserve banking and ending the federal reserve?
Keep in mind, that the lack of taxation and the ridiculous loopholes for both very wealthy individuals and corporations are contributing mightily to the current situation. One only needs to look to the past to see the vast difference between then and now. Close these loopholes and magically the deficit and funding for social programs that we mostly all value, (i.e. Social Security) magically self heal (and SS is less than 1% of the federal budget).
@@ForeverDownByLaw About 50% of workers pay no income tax? Maybe they need to step up. The wealthy are already paying most of the income tax. The government isn't spending $2trillion more than it takes in because of programs like Social Security. It just keeps coming up with ways to spend more money. That needs to stop.

Your incomes will increase but not as fast as the rise in prices. You’ll having millions in currency but it’ll be worthless and you’ll be destitute in real terms. This reality has played out in country after country but the drug of short term debt spending overpowers the urge to save the country for your children.
Maybe explaining the magic words…BORROWING MONEY…..in trillions might solve some of the mystery of debt. Who has that kind of money? And why they raised the interest rates? Who is in reality Federal Reserve? And elaborate even further in this kind of misconception of borrowing and not just spending.
@@worlore1651 In case you haven't noticed prices have already gone up inflation is outrageous and yes, we just have stayed the same. These companies can afford to pay more but they refused to do so.
@MyerShift7 and to add. Idiots like you who fall for this shit because it sounds so good. End up fucking not only themselves over but everyone else. They make the original problem worse then once again demand the original catalyst like minimum wage increase so the cycle continues. Wake up. Government doesn't like you. It doesn't care about you.
I’ve discussed this for years with clients and investors. The other layer here is that inflation also helps the government “artificially”increase taxes. Consider a controlled example: you buy 10k of some blue chip stock. Now we all buy stocks with the expectation the price will go up thanks to the company’s performance. But for a simple example, say the company’s performance stayed flat. But thanks to inflation, after 10 years, the stock price is up and worth 30k. So you sell, happy that you made 20k. But now the irs gets as much as 23.8% of that phantom profit they produced via inflation.
We need to do what Argentina did. Abolish unnecessary government and tighten the belt. Stop sending billions to Ukraine and other countries! This is insanity on steroids.
Love the point about "cutting the deficit". I feel like politicians and journalists use cutting the deficit as a bragging point for their side because they know most people think that means they cut the debt.

I saw the same thing in doling out gov't money to research programs. The first thing they ask is "can you spend the money?" Leads to corruption, graft and waste.
Ditto. Our program is encouraged to spend it all for fear of it being reduced next grant cycle. At this point I don’t know why, it’s always reduced regardless.

When you say it will be easier to repay an inflated debt. That is assuming your income continues to increase in deflated dollars. But in a depresssion, your income usually disappears, leaving you, still, with a debt you can never repay.
if so, you'd better sell it and move somewhere MUCH cheaper, putting the (after tax) money into gold coins, which you scatter-bury, at night, leaving no trace and showing no light.
What about the increase in property taxes and home insurances and rising maintenance cost associated with owning a home? There are a lot of "cost" beyond the fixed mortgage payment that could force a home owner to sell
All the money they are sending overseas with American tax dollars could fix every problem with America and if they taxed the corporations they could pay the deficit they know how to fix our problems.
They’ve gone beyond sending it overseas … they’ve now included paying for the millions of invited new, permanent citizens. They are paying for them and they will have to continue to pay for them. Additionally, they have to live somewhere, so housing is never going to go down.
Great explanation! I hadn't considered that the government was also banking on hyperinflation to pay off their debts (if they even consider it). I pushed to buy a home before the rates got above 3%. Feel like we got on the last train out. Crazy times.
That foreign aide money was created out of thin air, it's pure debt, doing the same thing internally instead of externally would not help anything and would probably increase the inflation rate even faster than sending money overseas.
They need to cut those programs. They probably will have to at some point. 350T unfunded pension liability. Do you want to keep your pension or your house? That’s where they’ll get the money from. Raising property and income taxes to cover it.
$35 trillion. To put that in perspective, it is nearly FOUR TIMES the combine value of every last gram of gold humans have collected on earth throughout all of history. Literally meaning all the gold in the world wouldn’t even pay off 25% of the current debt. People should really let that sink in with how severe the issue is. and BOTH parties got us here. Even slashing spending over 50% to make payments on the debt would take over 100 years to pay the current amount off. We literally cannot afford to be giving free handouts to ANYONE. The only roads ahead of the US are either default, or hyperinflation. And we are set up for it to be high inflation.
Once again, you have illustrated a difficult issue in a way that everyone can understand. This should be watched by everyone, especially the politicians, students in collage and high school students. Thank you.
Thanks so much Brian for always keeping it real. It's scary for a working class person like myself with a annual income of around 60k. Out here doing your best but the reality is you have to figure out how to do even better because our government can not get their stuff together.
I wish that the average American citizens can understand what Brian just talked about. People need to understand that our country is facing a serious financial issues.
One thing I enthusiastically disagree with in this video "inflation is going to sky rocket but so is your income". Nope, the current trend from the last 30 years or so doesn't seem to track here. Even more so since COVID. The disparity is growing due to wages not increasing while inflation in the public and private sectors increasing. Sure, it has for some, but not for the majority.
You'll never really fully own anything the government will always own it. They can take it from you even if you pay thousands of dollars and think you finally paid off your mortgage. Nope wrong .
One area you did not cover. There is this assumption that along with inflation, the salaries of workers rise with it. If that were the case, all would be wonderful. However, that is not the case. Salaries remain stagnant. So the average person is becoming poorer and poorer as time goes on. It will get to the point where the citizens revolt.

@@nile7999it is VERY much the point. It just depletes urrr beliefs.
@@nile7999 salaries are up only 10% since Biden took office. Inflation still needs to come down -40% to get back to Trump levels
@@user-nv2gw1tt5oIt's not coming back down. Fractal Banking Reserve is the problem.
When credit karma tells you your homes worth 150 more then it was 4 years ago ya know it's crazy
Credit karma is in real estate bussiness?
Problem is ¿Who's gonna buy it at that price?

if so, you'd better sell it and move somewhere MUCH cheaper, putting the (after tax) money into gold coins, which you scatter-bury, at night, leaving no trace and showing no light.
great video, thanks for sharing with us
Excellent video, thank you 🌷
What about the increase in property taxes and home insurances and rising maintenance cost associated with owning a home? There are a lot of "cost" beyond the fixed mortgage payment that could force a home owner to sell
All the money they are sending overseas with American tax dollars could fix every problem with America and if they taxed the corporations they could pay the deficit they know how to fix our problems.
Thank your dual citizen politicians and those bought and sold by the pro-Israeli lobbies.
100%
They’ve gone beyond sending it overseas … they’ve now included paying for the millions of invited new, permanent citizens. They are paying for them and they will have to continue to pay for them. Additionally, they have to live somewhere, so housing is never going to go down.
All by design
Yeah tax the corporates at 100%!....
Oh wait why are there no businesses and jobs...
Truth is its nowhere near that simple.
Still really enjoying the content, thank you.
Great explanation! I hadn't considered that the government was also banking on hyperinflation to pay off their debts (if they even consider it). I pushed to buy a home before the rates got above 3%. Feel like we got on the last train out. Crazy times.
The money they are giving foreign countries should go instead to shore up SS and Medicare and they need to keep their fingers out of it.
That foreign aide money was created out of thin air, it's pure debt, doing the same thing internally instead of externally would not help anything and would probably increase the inflation rate even faster than sending money overseas.
Agreed.
They need to cut those programs.
They probably will have to at some point.
350T unfunded pension liability.
Do you want to keep your pension or your house? That’s where they’ll get the money from. Raising property and income taxes to cover it.
Do You know why our government is doing this? Besides they are fking idi@ts of course. The real reason.
👏👏👏👏
For those wondering, banks shy away if your debt to income ratio is above 38%. The US government’s DTI is 1,697%
For governments, the Debt-to-GDP ratio is used. US DTG ratio is 121.7% (end of 2023). It sucks, too.
This checks out. It’s always rules for thee and not for me with government.
😂😂😂 brilliant
I’m surprised it isn’t more, tbh.
@@yanceymcdonald6017 Thanks for double checking the math. If we’re going to be mad, let’s at least get our stats right 👍🏽
Neither party is interested in reducing the debt. And people have their hands out wanting the government to take care of them.
This also happened in Rome with coin clipping. We’ll see how far virtual money can be stretched before collapse.
The problem is inflation goes up but the wages stay the same
They need to keep the masses poor - inflation is one of their tools.
But with minimum wage, the problem will be that people will complain about the wage, and so the wage goes up, and then inflation occurs again.
@@Joshua-LouMorrisSalvador Poor people are not the ones causing inflation - poor people do not set the prices.
$35 trillion.
To put that in perspective, it is nearly FOUR TIMES the combine value of every last gram of gold humans have collected on earth throughout all of history.
Literally meaning all the gold in the world wouldn’t even pay off 25% of the current debt.
People should really let that sink in with how severe the issue is. and BOTH parties got us here.
Even slashing spending over 50% to make payments on the debt would take over 100 years to pay the current amount off.
We literally cannot afford to be giving free handouts to ANYONE.
The only roads ahead of the US are either default, or hyperinflation. And we are set up for it to be high inflation.
Here’s another perspective. 35 trillion one dollar bills laid down end to end would stretch all the way to Pluto.
@@dystopianapprentice that one is false. It would take nearly 77.7 trillion dollar bills for that.
That's the real WMD
@@Slamscape Don't worry, we'll be 77 trillion in debt before too long.
Another option...CBDC.
Thanks for the info. Very good job explaining it. We are in trouble
Thank you for sharing
Our country will never get out of debt- too much unnecessary spending!
They've been doing this for decades. We're paying for it
Too little necessary taxing of the rich
@@Hdc2390yup look at the cost of living because of the government
@@downrightmike The rich don't have enough money to keep up with government spending.
So all the people on SSI and SSDI are going to be homeless and living on the streets
nah, there the ones still voting in the sideshow, they outnumber us 3-1
I plan to move in to AOC's home, or the beach front home that Joe Biden owns.
Thank you Brian.
Incredibly quality video. Thank you
We're so screwed in this country.
Screw or be screwed comrade.
@@dis4980 it's hard to screw when you're on the bottom with no way up.

thats awesome, friends always said I was born in the wrong time frame
Until we spend money on useless trash
❤Thanks for sharing
Great explanation thanks!
Thanks for honestly telling us how deeply f****d we really are. 🙏
Talk about it.Everybody's just so sick.Nobody even just trying to understand anything other than their struggling and suffering
Great video simply explained but very informative. More like this please.
Beautiful video! This was masterclass.
This is exactly how it works
Once again, you have illustrated a difficult issue in a way that everyone can understand. This should be watched by everyone, especially the politicians, students in collage and high school students. Thank you.
I like how you explain things.
Answer is to decrease spending
Thanks so much Brian for always keeping it real. It's scary for a working class person like myself with a annual income of around 60k. Out here doing your best but the reality is you have to figure out how to do even better because our government can not get their stuff together.
The problem is that the government is showing no signs of stopping the deficit.
Problem is that your pay won’t increase anymore
Finally, this is explained where the common American can understand! I’ve been trying to tell people this for years…
I wish that the average American citizens can understand what Brian just talked about. People need to understand that our country is facing a serious financial issues.
Just buy bitcoin. Problem solved in more ways than one…
@chingron same goes for any asset in an inflationary environment. Bitcoin is not special in that regard
It’s absolutely tragic
One thing I enthusiastically disagree with in this video "inflation is going to sky rocket but so is your income". Nope, the current trend from the last 30 years or so doesn't seem to track here. Even more so since COVID. The disparity is growing due to wages not increasing while inflation in the public and private sectors increasing. Sure, it has for some, but not for the majority.
The intersection of debt to income has already been surpassed. It's downhill from here.
how come when you 'buy' a house and 'own' it, you still pay 'property taxes'? doesn't that mean you don't really own it?
Government owns the land we own the house that’s the only way they can continue to profit
dont pay your property taxes then you will see the real owners...u r just renting
You'll never really fully own anything the government will always own it. They can take it from you even if you pay thousands of dollars and think you finally paid off your mortgage. Nope wrong .
Never really "own" anything, it's rented from the government. It's like that in mostly every country.
@@journeyisending😮
One area you did not cover. There is this assumption that along with inflation, the salaries of workers rise with it. If that were the case, all would be wonderful. However, that is not the case. Salaries remain stagnant. So the average person is becoming poorer and poorer as time goes on. It will get to the point where the citizens revolt.
Never happen. Americans don't have the will or the stomach for it
But there’s not enough places to live
I always thought about it this way too.
Its too right. Turkey experienced that. Banknotes are not usable anymore
The people who lose are those who are responsible enough to live within their means as well as those who are on a fixed income.
Would you mind explaining why this is?
