From the Desk of Shanon Davis, CEO — American Alternative Assets
You know, I was sitting at my desk this morning reading the news, and I nearly spilled my coffee. The IMF — the International Monetary Fund, the folks who monitor every economy on the planet — just came out and said America’s deficit is “too big.” Their words, not mine.
Now, I’ve been telling regular Americans this for years. You don’t need a PhD in economics to look at $1.8 trillion in deficit spending THIS YEAR and think, “Hey, maybe that’s a problem.” The CBO says it gets worse — $3.1 trillion by 2036. And here’s the kicker that nobody’s talking about: by 2030, just the interest payments on our national debt will rival what we spend on Social Security.
Let that sink in for a second. The government will be paying more to service its debt than to take care of the people who built this country.
Meanwhile, gold crossed $5,156 an ounce today. That’s not some speculator’s fantasy — that’s millions of people around the world saying, “I don’t trust what’s happening with the dollar.” And honestly? I get it.
Look, I talk to retirees every single day. Good people who worked hard, saved right, did everything they were told to do. And now they’re watching Washington spend money like there’s no tomorrow — literally — and wondering what happens to their nest egg when the bill comes due.
It’s not that hard to understand: when the government can’t pay its bills, they either cut benefits, raise taxes, or print more money. All three hurt the people who can least afford it.
I’m not here to scare anyone. I’m here to say: get educated. Look at the numbers. Understand what’s happening. Then decide for yourself what makes sense for your situation. That’s all we’ve ever asked.
We put together a free report called the Debt Death Spiral that breaks all of this down in plain English — what’s happening, why, and what experts say you can do about it. It’s worth 10 minutes of your time.
Got questions? Give us a call. Get educated. Then decide for yourself.
