24. US Treasuries represent the money the US Gov has borrowed - $36 Trillion

Mon Mar 24, 2025, 12:00 PM

Monday

This occurs when the Republican Party gives tax cuts to the wealthy without paying for them. The $36 Trillion is also the amount of cash that the Wealthy were allowed to keep.

If Japan, other countries, and regular investors decide to cash in those Treasuries - the USA would be insolvent. Why? Because we could not pay back $36T.

You will see a run on cashing in those Treasuries - investors getting their money back before there is no more USA.
