Chat, how cooked are we?
October's Interest payment on US debt was a record $104.4 billion.

That's $104.4 BILLION for a single month.
My Q4 tax payment fighting financial apocalypse:
In the very near and immediate future, our interest payments (that's the key word here) will be so large that they will even eclipse all military spending. The only item we'll be spending more on is Social Security, which only makes things even worse!
At this pace FY26 interest payments alone will top $1 trillion — more than the military budget. https://t.co/Tdn9uUTHuw— Ron DeSantis (@RonDeSantis) November 27, 2025
I asked the AI bots how doomed we are and the response was "medium-well, heading to charcoal" 😂ðŸ˜
The United States pulled out of a worse revenue-to-debt ratio after WW2, but this isn't the same country as post-WW2. Americans bought cheap houses, filled them with babies, and found local jobs where they didn't have to deal with woke HR departments or compete with 100 million applicants from India.
Today, the government's solution seems to be more spending.

The government can delay the consequences by printing money, but that just dilutes the value of the dollar further. This would only add to the inflationary fire that's increased the cost of everything since politicians printed trillions of new dollars in 2020.
(In case you were wondering just how worthless your money is now, you have to earn 70% more to afford the same home your salary could buy six years ago.) 👇
You have to make 70% more money to afford a home compared to ... 2019 https://t.co/8AvzbwTXbM— Not the Bee (@Not_the_Bee) May 3, 2025
Until we pay down our $38 TRILLION national debt (increasing by the trillions every year now), the only thing keeping everything together is the fact that the American dollar is the world's reserve currency.
There is a reason China, Russia, and others are pushing so hard to change that.
Together with other members of the BRICS group of countries, China’s central bank is building a digital payment system with the goal of recruiting enough countries to chip away at the dollar’s dominance. Officials promise progress in 2026 https://t.co/2G04nWY3b1— The Economist (@TheEconomist) November 27, 2025
In the first six months of 2025, the dollar's value fell by about 10% against other rich-world currencies.
The moment they succeed, well...

I wonder if AI knows the national debt is mostly fraudulent.
And we the people don’t owe the fraudulent part to anyone.
The individual states need to ready themselves.
The Uniparty in action, they’ll have to raise the debt ceiling a litter sooner than predicted. Standard rule, they blame each other publicly then pass the bill, works every time.
Well, Rome had no Federal Reserve to print more “Denarius”, so they started silver plating their Denarius and reducing the Gold contents. We have no strategic Silver hoard ( but they did recently declare it a critical metal) and our 8,100 ton Gold reserve is in serious question.
No Silver, questionable Gold reserve, President Trump had better get busy with that full assay Gold audit he promised and has failed to accomplish. The world is waiting.
All of this has been gamed out, and all of it has been accounted for.
The scenario you describe is exactly what the deep state, the corrupt politicians, big tech/fake news and the puppet masters are hoping for.
But they’ve made their mistakes, and the mistakes have existential outcomes.
They will pay off the debt with inflated dollars.............

IER estimated the worth of the government’s oil and gas technically recoverable resources to the economy to be $128 trillion, about 8 times our national debt...IER estimated the government’s coal resources in the lower 48 states to be worth $22.5 trillion for a total worth to the economy of fossil fuels on federal lands of $150.5 trillion, over 9 times our national debt. Most of the coal resources in Alaska are deemed to be federally owned and are estimated to be 60 percent higher than those in the entire lower 48 states but are not included in these estimates. (bold added)
We can just print more money as we need it....
We will all be millionaires!..............
Should I feel guilty for collecting interest on my Treasury bonds?
Yes, because it’s not gonna be what you thought it was gonna be............
