More than a grain of truth in this analysis. US debt at $36 Trillion is unsustainable. By 2030 debt servicing and core government expenditure will exceed government receipts. The tariffs seek to forestall foreclosure! The empire is facing imminent insolvency. Real Estate is highly debt leveraged and has been over leveraged since the neoliberal 'reforms' of the 1980s which removed all restraint upon commercial banks regarding the purpose to which they issue fiat debt finance. This has led to vast misuse of fiat debt funding to support non productive real estate speculation while funding of productive assets has withered...ie parasitic debt fueled crony capitalism. Trumps permissive 'crypto' stance enables the construction of virtual asset havens analogous to the shadow banking network Britains wealthy elites created as it declined. They were not thinking of the ordinary citizens but solely preserving their elite wealth.
