America Is Following in Greece's Footsteps
Italy in the 90s. Argentina in 2001. Greece in 2009. America was always safe… But now the IMF is projecting that by 2031, US debt will climb to 140% of GDP. That's higher than Greece's debt was when their entire economy collapsed. When Greece broke, the EU swooped in with $300 billion in emergency bailouts. Greece was fine. But when America crosses that line? There's no one bigger to save us. We ARE the emergency bailout for the rest of the world. You can't fix $38 trillion in debt. You can't stop Congress from spending. But you CAN control how much of your wealth stays exposed to the fallout.tc pixel
