    Yes, it is obviously nonlinear because the cost of servicing the debt increases, which itself increases the deficit, which in turn necessitates more borrowing. A vicious exponential, not a circle.

    You’re absolutely right, what most people Miss is the bump up in the trending line, those bump UPS could be dramatically higher than anyone could really quantify,
    The US is saddled with so much debt and hidden debt that the debt now is a feedback loop.

    My work has been forcing resignations from remote employees in order to avoid layoffs with the same result. They are also incentivizing retirements.

    I feel like this video didn’t do a very good job of explaining how the debt downgrade was related to the mis-allocation of resources or why there is a mis-allocation of resources.

    • @kathrynj.hernandez8425 says:

      Maybe George was saying that America’s third debt downgrade happened because of government intervention. In a free-market economy (which we have not experienced in like forever) new money inflow means those closest to the source get the most purchasing power. They pick up hard assets and property that improve living conditions. This is how new money behaves when it enters a geographical unit. Unless the government wrests it away and misdirects its flow instead into the great abyss, a place for which it is neither intended nor deserved but is certainly squandered.

    • @christschool says:

      No, we can make plenty. We’re going into debt because corporate tax rates are dropped as well as people that make over $1 million per year. Taxes on these groups need to be raised to bring the budget back in line. Unless you are willing to cut SS, Medicare and the US Defense, then deficits will continue to rise until you decide to ask corporations and the rich to pay the same percentage of taxes on their income as Joe the Plumber.

  • @Miata822 says:

    We don’t have a spending problem, we have a tax problem. Every time DC wants to boost the economy, buy votes, or reward wealthy contributors the government cuts taxes We’ve been cutting income tax for upper income brackets almost non-stop since 1980. Beyond the “official” tax cuts we have created or allowed a wide variety of tax schemes that allow most in the billionaire class to pay a lower percentage in taxes than any of us reading this. That big bill being discussed now in DC has the continuation of expiring emergency virus-era tax cuts at its heart. Pretending that we can cut spending to rectify our situation is disingenuous at best.

      As a beginner in investing, you should keep these three things in mind:

    • @EdwardSellmann4tewk says:

      1. Have a long-term mindset

      2. Be careful about how you spend money. If you’re not spending to make a profit, stop spending.

      3. Never say you know; ask, and it’s best to work with a financial advisor, like Elizabeth Rossiello.

  • @ThomasLuke-u3v says:

    Well, to be honest, politicians decrease debt through inflation. Then we end up with currencies with a whole lot of zeros on it. Back just 30 years ago $1 million was something now everyone that owns a house in Canada is a millionaire.

      These uncertainties will always be there. Thing is, every once in a while, the market does something so stupid it takes your breath away. If you’re not ready for it, you shouldn’t be in the market business. or get you a skilled practitioner.

    • @tatianastarcic says:

      I agree, that’s the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it’s near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I’ve netted over 2.8million.
