HenryMakow.com – Nov 3, 2024

The US Government will pay $1.2 Trillion in interest on the debt in 2024. Double of what they paid in 2023. And it keeps escalating, as they continue to roll over debt for higher interest rates and must borrow $2,5 Trillion per year to keep up this deficit spending. If their financing needs next year are $5 Trillion, they will be paying $1,5 Trillion next year, almost a third of Government income. It’s hard to see how they will finance WW3.

Latest!  Migchels Predicted a Trump Comeback Six Mos Ago

The US Government’s Finances Are Now In An Acute Crisis

by Anthony Migchels — (abridged by henrymakow.com)

America’s finances are now critical. The raw numbers speak for themselves, and cannot continue. It is very easy to predict that strong measures will soon be announced, but these will come with severe consequences, both domestic and geopolitical.

Of course many will say ‘we’ve been saying that for decades now’, but once we show the numbers, everything will become clear. There will be no more kicking the can down the road. Especially, since the now imminent deflationary disaster in ‘the markets’ will force the hand of all players involved on several levels.

Trump will be wheeled in again soon now, and he will also have Congress on his side, if things go as can be expected at the moment, providing him with the leeway to do something drastic. The first one hundred days of a presidency are typically used for settling the main matters, as the momentum is then still strong and the administration is in the honeymoon phase. It’s hard to see how this would not coincide with the Crash we have been expecting since Powell started raising rates, and which we called as the Fed popping the Debt Bubble, a prediction we are quite confident will be proven correct not long from now.
