who's going to buy that?
>>540003376>As of May 2026, the U.S. national debt is about $38.9 trillion. Estimates place it at roughly $36.2 trillion when Donald Trump began his second term in January 2025. That means the debt has increased by approximately $2.7 trillion so far during his second term.https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/vendor/_accounts/JEC-R/debt/Monthly%20Debt%20Update.html?
>>540003376Says who
>>540003376i an
Just print more money, duh.
>>540003649This. Everybody already knows that the US is not paying back $40 trillion.
>>540003412I dont understand... Republicans are usually so good with the economy...
>>540003376>who's going to buy that?Every government in the world.
Treasury auctions are scheduled. They’re functioning as they always have. There will be no surprises anon; it’s not like we will spontaneously find no lenders. This is a bait headline.
>>540003376There is no doubt that someone is going to buy it. The only question is what yield the US will need to offer to get people to buy it.
>>540003376The Middle East after their infrastructure gets bombed to shut by Iran.
>>540003376You are, tranny.
>>540003376China or Japan or the UK or the US public or the federal reserve. The issue is it will be sold at a higher interest rate which will feed inflation which will mean higher payments which leads to more money printing which leads to more debt which leads to higher interest rate which leads to more inflation. Hyperinflation is the only viable end solution unless all of these stupid conflicts turn into ww3. Which will lead to insane debt balloon and if we win then we just make a new digital currency. Or if we lose then we go weimer route of paper money being less valuable than wallpaper.
>>540004852That is true but the USA can no longer be trusted to make the payments either, which complicates matters greatly.
>>540005168>it’s not like we will spontaneously find no lenders. why do you lie?
>>540007085>>540007052Provide evidenceWhat you say makes sense but nothing will actually happen
>>540007255>evidenceYou can see signs of distress in previous Treasury sales for a few years now. The buyers are largely anonymous but there are indications that we are buying our own treasuries. Scott fucking Bessent is the Secretary of the Treasury by the way.The entire point of the Iran War was to gain full control over middle east energy resources to force their sales to be denominated in USD. The Persians were selling too much oil for other currencies and that trend was reducing worldwide demand for the currency. Considering it is obviously unsafe to trust the USA with your countries money our only option is to force people to use it by destroying any competing options.That has failed which means there are fewer treasury buyers. We can only buy our own for so long.
I'll buy that for a dollar!
>>540003376> $15TJust pay it back. Or gibe Alaska as security.
Good thread. Ignore the bot replies. If you want to actually discuss anything coherently - be it geopolitics, history, finance, conspiracy theories, metaphysics, the answer is getting 5-15 active people in an invite only chat and isolating ourself from the group-thinking horde. Campfire of the Saints of some sort. Everything is upside down, if you want to have civil discourse we need to isolate yourself while every jingoist crazies loitering in the openweb and it's only going to get worse. I'm trying my best. Maybe consider joining mine this https://smp8.simplex.im/g#fd8nd878bfvUHbhgcr7rkYuqGP_xZ76unOvzERG8OeQ Discord & Telegram are namefag apps, at least SX doens't require your phone number to join and the first messaging app without user identifier. Any open forum format with namefag tags eventually fails out even on Twitter. No one really posts effort comments. It's not about the numbers. It's the sense of censorship being present all the time. People are afraid to say even slightly wrong things but how do you learn things without being wrong at first? Everything is sanitized for Ai to train on. Sense of discovery is gone on the internet. Raw human engagement gone. You are not observing things, you are being observed. If you feel like chans are the only place left that this axiom still applies - strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people, then we're stuck now. Chans suffer from low user count. There's really only 30 people posting here co-currently. Only general threads on /poI/ go over 300 replies and they're already a chat room for bunch of circlejerk but on the open web so I know it's a downgrade but I can't think of better options. There's no systematic, programmable solution cause it's the people who are using the internet is at fault here.
