Current public debt is $31.27T. At 4% average interest that is $1.25T/year in interest. Recent 0.4% rise in interest rates is an extra $125B in interest. Over $6k/year in interest per American 18-64. Was a $2.5T increase in debt and obligations for FY25. Another huge number is $15T in future benefits for Federal workers. $75k/working age adult.

- Comment on Fund managers worry about Trump’s mental state amid tariff debacle 1 year ago:
It’s more that the plan was based on overconfidence in US exceptionalism and power, and gross misunderstanding of Navarro’s stupidity. Like propaganda that west is stronger than Russia militarily, and sanctions would cause Russians to be as stupid as the west’s gullible population, instead of extremely determined to defend themselves. Tarrifs on the world combined with military threats to allies creates the same determination against US, and the illusion that the US is more powerful than China is something that disappears when reality is tested. The illusion that the US has any economic sustainability or strength at all, gets tested.
It’s all about plans that are based on lies, and the propagandized belief of those lies, must adjust to reality.
