How The World is Drowned in a $300 Trillion Debt Bubble Three Times Its Size. 👀🤯 ​You've noticed something unsettling: Early every major country, from the US and China to the UK and India, is drowning in Debt. The US owes $36 trillion, and while China holds a piece of that, it has its own $18 trillion debt to manage. Logically, one might think these debts would balance each other out. Yet, the world is collectively under a staggering $300 trillion of debt, a figure almost three times the size of the entire global economy, which stands at about $100 trillion. ​So, where did all this debt come from, and who is the ultimate lender? The answer lies in a cycle that has been spinning for over 50 years. ​The Cycle of Self-Funded Debt : ​The situation began in the early 1970s when the financial system underwent a monumental change. Most world currencies, previously tied to a finite resource - gold were delinked. This allowed the US, followed by others, to print money as needed to fund growth, infrastructure, and other projects. ​This created a powerful, self-perpetuating cycle: ▶️ ​Governments Print & Spend: To fuel the economy, governments print money, which is spent on projects and enters the hands of the public. ▶️ ​People Save: People deposit their earnings and savings into banks. ▶️ ​Banks Lend Back to the Government: Banks then use these deposits to buy government bonds. In essence, they are lending your money back to the very government that printed it. ​This cycle means that a huge portion of a country's debt is owed to its own citizens. For example, 70% of the US debt is held by American citizens and institutions through this mechanism. As more money is printed, more goes into banks, more bonds are bought, and the national debt spirals ever higher. Today, major nations are funding around 20% of their yearly spending through new borrowing. ⚠️​The Breaking Point : ​This system is now showing signs of extreme stress. With a global debt three times the global GDP, it's clear these loans can never be fully repaid. When governments can no longer afford to even pay the interest, they face three difficult choices: 1️⃣ ​Print more money, which leads to high inflation and civil unrest. 2️⃣ ​Increase taxes, which also risks public anger and civil unrest. 3️⃣ ​Borrow even more money. ​The third option is becoming increasingly difficult. The vast amount of money in circulation has fueled stock markets, like those in the US, to "crazy returns". As a result, people are investing their money for higher returns rather than keeping it in bank savings accounts. This leaves banks with less money to lend to governments. To attract investors back to bonds, governments would have to offer higher interest rates, which they cannot afford. ☣️ ​This is why there's speculation that the US President might even welcome a stock market crash. A crash could scare people into pulling their money from stocks and putting it back into the perceived safety of banks. This would, in turn, allow banks to lend more to the government, keeping the cycle going a little longer. ​The entire world is now sitting on a massive, precarious financial bubble.🫧 The consequences are already visible: rising inflation, growing wealth disparity, and increasing civil and geopolitical unrest across the globe.
