The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“ Dalio emphasizes that years of massive deficits and unsustainable debt growth have pushed the US economy to the brink of a debt crisis. He points out that the recent budget approved by Trump will lead to serious spending excesses, which could lead to an imminent debt crisis and a "heart attack" for the economy. Dalio expects this crisis to occur within three years, with a margin of error of one to two years.

Impact of Inflation and Monetary Policy
Dalio believes that continued political pressure on the Federal Reserve to maintain low interest rates will weaken confidence in its ability to protect the value of the currency and reduce the attractiveness of dollar-denominated assets, which could undermine the current monetary system. He notes that international investors have already begun to shift from US Treasury bonds to gold.

Dalio concludes his warnings by emphasizing that the United States is at a crossroads. It must address the issues of accumulating debt, wealth disparity, and value divisions before the situation worsens and the country slides toward an unstable future.“
