The US national debt could hit $40 trillion by August. That's worth pausing on.



Here's the kicker: it took 205 years—from 1776 all the way to 1981—for America's total debt to climb to just $1 trillion. Now we're stacking up trillions like quarterly earnings reports.

What does this pace of borrowing mean for asset allocation? For inflation? For anyone holding USD-denominated positions? The acceleration is undeniable. The math doesn't lie.

400 trillion? This pace is incredible. The lifespan of the dollar is probably counting down...

yo the debt acceleration math here is absolutely unhinged... 205 years to $1T then what, 40 years to $40T? that's literally exponential and nobody's talking about the basis point implications for usd-denominated bridges lol

40 trillion? The dollar's excessive printing in the Indo-Pacific is crazy. People holding cash in USD should really consider switching assets.

$40 trillion? The Fed's printing press is really out of control. The crypto market is about to take off next month.

40 trillion US dollars... this speed is unbelievable, really. It took only 1 trillion in 205, and now in just a few years, it has multiplied several times. Whose printing press is this happy?
