The UNTOLD STORY about America's $36 Trillion Debt | ECONOMIC Case Study
A Think School economic case study in which the presenter explains why he calls the United States national debt, which he puts above 36 trillion dollars or about 120 percent of GDP, a ticking debt bomb. He lays out four problems he sees: chronic deficit spending, tax cuts he says favored the richest, rising interest payments, and falling foreign demand for US Treasury bonds. He then describes how he thinks a US debt crisis could hit India through stock outflows and rupee weakness, citing 2011 as precedent. Sponsor: Wint Wealth, a bond investing platform the presenter says he invests in, thanked mid-video. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this note is based on the opening, the deficit and tax sections, the interest and bond demand sections, the India impact section and the closing, and may not cover every point in the roughly 18 minute video. The figures, forecasts and political opinions are the presenter's own and are not independently checked. Nothing here is financial or investment advice, including the sponsor mention.
