Invest judiciously, keep a stop loss figure. Shuffle between debt and equity wherever the ratio goes too off your target. As for the target, I recommend a Ratio like this Debt % should be equal to your age in years. If you are 20, debt is 20%, reset in equity. If the market falls or rises drastically, your debt % will change, which you should rebalance to 20% and bring back equity to 80%. Thus you would have bought low or booked profit depending on if it was a crash or a bull run.

I feel sorry for the U.S. citizens. While the U.S. prints to pay off its interest on the loans it borrowed from other countries. The inflation rate in the U.S. skyrocketed, raising the cost of living for U.S. citizens. That is why so many are homeless and can't afford healthcare.

When a country's elites keep getting richer, ordinary people struggle to survive and the country's debt increases exponentially, you start wondering about whether these events are interconnected.

You are witnessing the decline of an empire. It is following the same patterns as all other empires that have fallen, endless wars, galloping inflation and depression. It will fall HARD

We owe ourselves this rebellion .. enough for the US leading the world

800 billions dollar military expense is not a joke more than many countries gdp

It is starting with BRICS+, eventually many countries will distance themselves from the US dollar and the US. If you want to be the hegemon of the planet, it is an expensive enterprise.

The news about this debt crisis isn't even mentioned once on any western news channels... that's a really sad reality for a democracy.

One last throw of the dice before brics shouts jumanji

My fellow American colleague in the US once told me this country is going down the hill and plummet sooner than we think ; when Obama got his 2nd term . When he said that .. at that time, i didn't believe it ! was extremely wrong .. I still remember they way he told me !

And some U$ citizens still brag about how rich is @merica🤧

Thank you. Appreciate your reporting on this important world event. As a proud Indian🇮🇳, I really love ♥ and have a lot of respect for the incredible work of Palki's highly captivating story regarding *How British looted 45 trillion from India* which unquestionably stands as a masterpiece of the highest quality. The content of the reporting is truly inspiring, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The dedication, talent and hard work poured into the video are greatly appreciated by many. The Indian Union Public Service Commission has delivered a remarkable report titled संघ लोक सेवा आयोग *How Britishers killed 1.8 billion Indians. Chronology of British Raj's exploitative policies* | UPSC," is equally astounding. The Indian government consistently produces insightful and thought-provoking articles of the utmost caliber, and I sincerely hope they continue to produce such interesting exceptional work. Can it even get better than that? It should deserve an award for best report of the year. Thanks for telling the truth. Your show was really entertaining. I adore your passion

So when is enough, enough? 100 trillion, 500 trillion? What are these people possibly thinking.

As an American I’m far from worried. It’s the rest of the world that needs to worry from deglobalization. America is sufficient enough on its own. .

Still want to send extra lunch money to zelensky 😂🤡

120% actually isn't that high. Japans has been around 250% for quite some time and its really had marginal impact on the economy. While Canada is listed as being quite high, which is true, there is a big difference in that much of the debt is actually held by canadians through pension funds, so its not like thiere is huge risk of bankruptcy. Not that its GOOD, but its not as 'economy ending' as some would think.

Will be nice to see it how will start and how will end.

34 Trillion debt 😳good debt 😢may be war .Good report Palki Sharma

Thanks for the lecture to the US Palki. Keep it up.

America has been able to service high debt since The Second World War for two reasons: - Until the 1970s the USA had the highest level of manufacturing globally. It could simply produce enough sought-after goods for the rest of the world. - After the 1970s the USA dropped off a metallic standard and essentially used an 'oil standard' for its currency, forcing everyone to buy oil in US dollars. This is the 'petrodollar' you may have heard about. Unfortunately during the second phase the USA had essentially 'free money': it couldn't go broke. So in a scenario of insane short-sightedness it offshored nearly all its industry (except arms manufacture) as they thought this second phase would go on forever. It won't, however, go on forever. The USA's heavy-handed behaviour in seizing sovereign assets has encouraged non-vassal nations to de-dollarise and not trade in US dollars. In essence they've stopped paying a trading tax to the USA and the USA's GDP is a house of cards based on financial instruments and not actual production. If the de-dollarisation continues the USA's economy will collapse which will make the dissolution of the USSR look like a short term slump. And this is the root cause of the USA's latest round of wars.

Bravo. That was great. You hit the nail on the head. "Give me control of a nation's money supply and I don't care who makes its laws," said the old master of financial market speculations

This is exactly what America needs

❤"in dolar we trust, with dollar we will die"😂

The US debt is high but the US's ability to dodge that is even higher

Printing isnt a wise Idea because. Printing won't get rid of starvation and homelessness that is all over america. Printing won't help the 99% who will have to deal with inflation and higher cost of living

Great news great info👌🏽

The Lanisters always said they could pay their debt - how did that work out?

”A small debt is your problem, a big debt is the lenders problem”. When a bank lends money they want a security in some valuable assets, which are those assets in this case?

Unnecessary wars are the primary reason.

What are the Effects of the So-Called USA $34 Trillion Dollar Debt? 1. Are they really debts, or just unpaid cheques? The supplier of fiat currency can create endless amount of money, as long as they can find solutions to inflation (i.e., too much money chasing few goods). The bulk of USA money supply is given to military technology firms and financial sectors, who use the money to buy up assets and products from around the world. So, US debts just means exported inflation. 2. When America talks about debt, they also talk about needing a stronger military ($1 Trillion a year in defense spending).You ask: what has debt got to do with the military? The answer is that the debt in question is the power to create monetary value on other people’s products - giving the creator the power to take other people’s products while giving them worthless paper in return. Since people will refuse this exchange, you need the military to compel them to accept it or face extermination. 3. The logic of USA government debt is that the entire world actually pays for it with their products (natural resources; tariffs and freight insurance cost, transfer of their resources to Western multinationals; inflated cost of obtaining USA Dollar for foreign reserves transactions following higher interest rates on the Dollar) In effect, it is a mafia debt - borrowing money from the mafia. This is the Classic Pirates Paradise! Hegemonic Ponzi Scheme! 4. There is no such thing as USA paying on its debts. They can easily adjust the value of these debts, and drastically reduce the amount payable by :1) increasing the interest rates on the Dollar; 2) sanctioning several countries, and effectively wiping away their entire entitlements for the value of products they supply on the promise of these USA debts; 3) creating conflicts within these nations to force them to buy USA military equipment and services in exchange for payments on their products; sabotaging their economies, and offering them a mafia solution - “transfer your natural resources to our corporations, in exchange for economic relief’)

The American people are paying a high price for the never ending wars

All empires eventually collapse

Kudos to palki excellent delivery.

THAT’S A BIG YES, but not because of the debt but because of how the US has been treating the rest of the world…

The US Fed needs to stop increasing the money supply with debt. Problem solved. Jamie diamond wouldn't like that because that's where he gets a lot of his money. It's a gift from the Fed to him.

Eventually, they will be unable to the debt, then they will print the money, and inflation will rise, not just in the US, but all over the world. So, I don't think it is wise to invest in any USD bonds. Instead, invest in growing economies. So that even when the eventuality comes, it would at least set off your losses to some extent

We haven’t designed the economy correctly we sell fast food on every block and our people are getting sick. The only way to help our debt issues is by making fast food more good versus what we currently have now. And if our people then become less sicker from the food we eat then we will be in less debt! Think about it, what’s the point of having majority of people sick when we are technically “bankrupt” already. Plus we also need affordable housing and we haven’t seem to find the solution to solve this other dilemma. A credit card is not suppose to be used as a survival mechanism because you don’t have money, our people are going into debt for bread, milk and some cotton clothing with a logo on it.

Hello from America. We need the next generation of young people across the world to right the wrongs

Nice subject line. Thanks

With the wars its sponsoring you might be inclined to think that they dont want to go alone.

no problem at all... just keep printing money... it's been effective solution for them for decades...

The power of US currency relies not on its economic power but on its military power. They will forgive its debt to all or even pay all debts since its their currency, they can print as much as needed. While over billion of Chinese had to hard work for over 30 years to spare a bit over trillion $, the US printed 2+4 trillions in 2 years of covid lock down. So why anyone should worry?

Thanks Team first post for amazing work. Please also make a continuing episode on printing money by US to serve this debt. What will then happen to inflation or what cud go wrong then ? And what about debt numbers of other nations? India specially

I would not lend the yanks a single cent. They will default. The golden rule says that he who holds the gold makes the rules, and that is not the USA.

The Rebellion is already started in many parts of the Earth.

Not will, but already started in 2008 and now it is gathering momentum incrementally until the breaking point is reached

Good News for the Indian 🇮🇳 Rupee: it will become comparatively stronger !

War financed entirely by debt .That's not defence.

An excellent report, Palki!!!! My friends and I, who are not American and come from a sort of poor country, have been talking about this for a while already. Some of them are concerned with China actually bidding such debt, which would destroy the dollar. Personally, I think the countries mentioned have more to lose if they do not decide to consider at least part of the debt as a loss. We must just wait and see...

I really enjoy firstpost. I can't get this information in the US.

She's an incredible news reporter

This is a great Video! I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post, I would be glad if anyone here can explain a few things to me about investment, I believe it's my time to shine for a better future

3:14 Japan is kinda of USA's colony rather than ally

120% of its GDP. Simple home economics says that if you most borrow more than you are making and don't adjust, you are going down at some point. That just can't be maintained indefinitely.

Amazing

Well , another name for America should be Rebelica who spends money like stream flowing down the hill. The stream is unstoppable even it is during the draught season.

Henry Kissinger - 'It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.'

It's like buying a 1.2 million dollar home with a 1.0 million dollar income. It's still manageable. Any default is a long way off.

Thank you Palki Sharma, Nobody forces People, businesses and Governments to buy Treasuries. There are no guaranties in investments, but Treasuries are considered to be more reliable than some others and are part of the portfolios. Around 80% of Treasuries are bought inside the US, and only around 20% by foreign entities.

If these countries are concerned about US debt, then every one which accepts US foreign aid ought to pay it back.

It's around 90 trillion dollars if you include the interest.

alas, "No empire last forever." Empires are high-maintenance systems ;

Yes. Total isolation shortly.

I guess the US should stop giving aid to India and India needs to start repaying the US.

The International Monetary Fund has warned that India’s general government debt may exceed 100% of gross domestic product in the medium term. The Indian government, however, disagreed, saying that sovereign debt risks are limited as it is mainly denominated in domestic currency, the business daily said. Here you have it. All governments have BS explanations.

Printing for US military!

❤no, the central banks and ratings companies insist on investment in the US valuless paper😂

Still worry about the interest rate when the sea level start to rise and their wave is getting bigger.

A giant with clay foot. Lena Petrova's videos in KZfaq further add that besides 34 trillion USD government debt, there is 17 trillion USD household debt, not to speak of corporate debts. America and Americans have been living on debt for as long as I can remember, at least since late 1960s. When I first read about credit cards in the late 1960s, I just could not understood how it worked. Debt is something we Indians fear, at least at individual level. But debt loves the US and the US loves debt. The US government is acting as the Marshall for the rest of the world at the cost of its hapless taxpayers.

That's the luxury of having your currency as the world's base currency. You can print your way out of trouble. You can print your way into wars. You can print your way to prosperity. And you can punish an entire country with sanctions, never mind the innocent people that will suffer. That's absolute power corrupting absolutely in full display.

someone is on the bottom and the bottom is not a place to be.

The numbers are so high it becomes surreal. Very well done!

People in the comment section are splitting hairs about this issue, by saying things like "but China and Russia owe more..." or by saying "the US owes that debt to its own citizens", or "other countries print more money than we do, so we have more room to borrow". You are all missing the point. I was living in Portugal since 2000 until 2016. I got to see the process of debt unravelling, it can happen in a matter of months, if your debt to GDP goes above 100% your national effort just to pay interest exceeds the percentage of interest payed and often exceeds the GDP growth... If you understand anything about math you know why this becomes a problem. Even if you just pay interest and have no budget deficit you will still need to pay more in interests than your annual economic growth... Where is that extra money coming from? Either more taxes, more foreign direct investment, more exports or... Selling assets and cutting public spending. The US has very little capacity to attract more foreign direct investment because their economy is already too big and cost of production too high, they can't really increase much of exports for the same reason. So what can they do? Sell assets and cut spending. The federal government has very limited assets that can be sold (except for military equipment) so, prepare for more cuts on spending, forget about new infrastructures. Pay more taxes, maybe a federal VAT tax, a 20% Vat tax could potentially pull about 10 trillion dollars per year in revenue for the federal government, prepare for more inflation (increasing taxes causes inflation), in essence, prepare to be poorer. Nobody can live above their means forever, not even the US.

Don’t worry, we won’t make it 2035. We’ll default or have a currency crisis by then and don’t feel sorry for us. We borrowed and lived beyond our means for decades. It’s just the laws of economics.

The interest payments on debt are growing so fast, we will have less and less for military and infrastructure, leave alone social security, education and healthcare. Eventually, we will default in 10 years, 15 years. Then the cost of debt will skyrocket. Make no mistake, what you are seeing is the inevitable decline and death of the US Empire. And we have only one party to blame which is ourselves.

ONE THING PUZZLES ME, IF AMERICA'S ECONOMY IS DOING SO WELL, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE WITH THOUSANDS OF CLOSING BUSINESSES??!!

It is leading to that.

That's a crazy amount of debt for Luxembourg to hold given how small they are.

Where was Jamie Dimon last year, or 5 years ago? Oh right, he’s part of this debt based Ponzi scheme that’s collapsing right on top of us. Did anyone notice that he sold $150 million in stock lately? When it comes to debt…Jamie is almost second to none.

actually--that was alan greenspan who said they will always pay the debt no matter what but he cant gauarantee the purchasing power

If you have a military like this all this debt is meaningless. Exactly as the US had abandoned the gold standard it can get rid of the debt over night. What the other countries are going to do? Absolutely nothing.

Well everyone has their prime and end of prime Usa had their prime before Biden and now it's a u turn A single champ or a country cannot sit on the worlds chair forever

Good news to the world

Why is it our problem? We have a wonderful dream ahead of us or so promises our political leaders

It is simply what instant KARMA is all about period.

But they can print money as much as they like..

A stronger military? Isn’t that how we got into this mess? As military experts have pointed out, the U.S. has the most expensive military. Not the best. AND! in a peer-to-peer war it would loose to Russia. 😮

We are tired with this US dollars linked economy in Nigeria 🇳🇬

Great reporting- we do not get honest news reporting in America

To who will American going to pay this gigantic dept too

and this will have the ripple effect on the whole world market and also for the countries which are economically growing well😢

Ok. Let’s immediately stop ALL Foreign Aid. That’s as good place to start as any.

I remember, only u reporting evergrande crisis in china few months ago and now it really had happened. Company's share is valued at 0.16 HKD and is going for bankruptcy.. Realy ma'am you and your team is doing great analysis of each & every report and deliver it like no one can do...

When you are deep in debt, borrow more money, fund more wars. U.S. economic model

The American dream is not so much a dream anymore. Iam from Canada and we are getting hit hard. food prices has doubled. Rent has doubled. I feel bad for the students they are having a hard time paying for tuition/rent if you live off campus.

That day is drawing closer by the day.....long overdue. 😊

Please explain, why countries like the UK - that itself has a poor balance sheet, buys US debt?

Palki Sharma Upadhyay 🌹👍

US debt: $34 trillion US household wealth: $140 trillion
