102 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b 22 Oct \ on: US debt hits $38 trillion, 2 months after reaching $37 trillion - Fortune econ

I was ready to call BS as my debt clock, which is supposed to sync to the Treasury's website daily, didn't show $38T.

But I think it's just buggy and hadn't sync'd in awhile, because it showed $38T on restart.

What happens when it hits 100 Trillion? Does it move the dollar sign?

At current rate it hits $50T in two years. At that point the USA is functionally insolvent. Nobody in their right mind wants to buy USTs anymore. Already China holds the US military - industrial complex over a barrel with their stranglehold over rare earths supply chains.
