Financial Leaders Sound Alarm on ‘Snowballing’ National Debt: Larry Fink Joins Jamie Dimon and Jerome Powell in Urgent Warning

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has issued a stark warning about America’s escalating debt, which currently stands at a staggering $34 trillion and continues to grow. Fink cautioned that the nation’s trajectory could lead to a crisis reminiscent of Japan’s lost decade. He emphasized that Washington should not assume that investors will indefinitely fund the country’s fiscal deficit.

In his annual letter to investors, Fink highlighted the recent three-percentage-point increase in U.S. Treasury yields to 4%, which reflects longer-term inflation expectations and the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes. He described this development as highly perilous, as it translates to an additional trillion dollars in interest payments over the next decade alone.

Nothing has gotten Congress motivated to deal with it for many decades. More warnings won’t do the job.

A good move now would be to invest in wheelbarrow companies.

Weimar hyperinflation, here we come.

Larry Fink is a POS.
He was the one originally pushing ESG which is fiduciary negligence.
He’s the one who met with Zelensky for a rebuilding of Ukraine bank.

Fink deserves ambient temperature.

If they really want to send a message they should stop buying government bonds.

looks like a bunch of “smart well-connected bankers” were “misled” by a DEI appointee somewhere in the Biden Administration-and are now “upside-down “ on their bond positions

No need to sound alarm the way Biden & Co. are spending money it’s more like a plan for a crash and let the UN step in for the take over.

Ross Perot was talking about this issue back in 1992.

It’s probably too late to do anything now.

When I was first starting to paying some attention to politics as a teen in the late 60s, I remember “the deficit” being a nonstop topic of discussion driven by the costs of the Vietnam war. Hand wringing and nothing else ever since.

These fakers are the very same people who support the crazy spenders in power - in both parties. They support them politically and financially - the democrats and the RINO crooks. If anyone ran on fiscal discipline and fixing the out of control spending, these hypocrites would support the ones running against them.

"Omnibus" after omnibus, and now all of sudden they are concerned. It is the American middle class that has been thrown under the collective omnibus.

Expect a restless populace and a rapid turnover of politicians as we all ride the beast down. Try to be on top of it rather than below it.
