  • The U.S. is $33 trillion in debt. As government spending, interest rates and fears of a recession continue to climb, I noticed why the US won’t pay down its debt and why it even doesn't care.

    It should be noted that modern economic theory is highly debated not just in politics but also by ecomicists. I personally believe only the US as of today can get away with it and only because it's on top of the great power leader... So do you really want the US to fully embrace something it can't afford to use forever assuming the US falls from the top?

    The part about Greece is not correct. Greece can issue its own currency, like any euro member with government bonds. Interest rates on government bonds have risen dramatically due to economic and political crises. This interest on government bonds could no longer be serviced, which led to a near insolvency. Greece does not owe money to the European Union, but to banks that hold its government bonds. Greece had no debt to the EU. The EU cannot lend money. For your video, better use Argentina, which is actually indebted in foreign currency, instead of Greece.

    MMT is nonsense. If not for its reserved currency status, the USD would have hyper-inflated to worthlessness long ago. This unfair advantage is not victimless will not last forever. De-dollarization is already happening and will complete in our lifetime. Without the reserve currency status, try printing your way out of debt. You don’t have to be an economist to see where that’d lead.

    9:03 That's an odd view of it as if it was true why have fedal taxes at all on persons and why be so uptight with getting them? Like all the things you've listed are state taxes not federal ones... So why not just tax states if true? Which by the way taxes are the primary income for the US of A and is why it's the richeces country on earth despite the dedt and spending...

      It’s not the richest country because government collect taxes 😂 😂. Government spending isn’t even close to the largest number in gdp, so that’s not the reason why we are the richest. It’s a combination of thing, the largest weight being the private sector consumption and capitalism.

      That's only true if the debt increases in a steady increment. However, US debt increased by $1 trillion in just 3 months back in June 2023 - Sep 2023, from $32 trillion to $33 trillion. Just for your info the US debt already reached $34 trillion back in January. It's so fast this video from 2 months ago already seem like outdated. It will probably be $40 trillion by end of this year, which is 170% debt to GDP ratio. Next year will exceed 180%.

    By the way we entered the current reccesstion in 2019 and will likely exit it into a golden age somewhere between 2025-2030... Which yes most have only started to catch on this year... But it's very true if you look at the facts... Which about that goldened age it will likely happen because of the rest of the world pretty much having a abd time... wars both normal and civil, depressions and actual government colapsises not where they get a new leadership in... Which leaves the US to just pick and choose what to do during that time when it's just fine.

    The government really can't and shouldn't pay it all back. That doesn't mean we should continue to increase it, but the economy would grind to a halt if all of a sudden treasury bonds stopped being available for purchase. Something like 70% of U.S. debt is held by U.S. nationals and corporations. We owe it to ourselves.
    Also, it's unconstitutional for the government to default due to the 14th Amendment.
