The U.S. Department of the Treasury has conducted an acquisition of up to 500 million USD in TIPS bonds, scheduled for payment on November 13, 2025, in order to control the rapid growth of national debt. This activity focuses on TIPS maturing between 2040 and 2055 through the FedTrade system, occurring against the backdrop of the total public debt of America approaching the 40 trillion USD mark.
This aligns with the warnings of Ray Dalio, who argues that America could face an “economic heart attack” in three years if the budget deficit is not significantly cut. Dalio emphasizes that the government is spending over 40% more than its income, creating a spiral of money printing, currency devaluation, inflation, and political instability. He also warns that America needs to issue about 12 trillion USD in debt to cover maturing debts, interest, and new borrowings, while expressing concern that the current monetary easing could inflate bubbles instead of stabilizing the economy.
