We are all concerned about the many problems we face today: inflation, affordability, a world at war, the list goes on. That will all be irrelevant if the United States goes bankrupt. Make no mistake, that is where we are headed if we continue our current path.

No, we are not bankrupt yet, but we are insolvent. That is simply financial jargon, meaning we cannot pay our obligations as they come due. However, if we can still borrow, we can continue to meet those obligations and avoid bankruptcy. So, we borrow and pay, borrow and pay, and pile up unfathomable debts.
