Hi,
Since the thunderous signing of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” on July 4th, 2025, the United States has plunged deeper into a fiscal abyss, with the national debt skyrocketing to perilous heights now that the debt ceiling has once again been raised! As of July 3rd, 2025, the total gross national debt stood at a staggering $36.56 trillion USD. For context, $36.56 trillion USD, if laid out in front of you in $100 bills would weigh just shy of 400 million pounds and would span almost ¾ of a million football fields. A truly incomprehensible amount of debt is owed back to the Federal Reserve, plus interest. Projections from the Congressional Budget Office and other analysts scream that this so-called “beautiful” bill will add a colossal $3.3 trillion USD to the deficit over the next decade, if not well sooner, with some estimates soaring as high as $4+ trillion USD when interest costs and policy extensions are factored in. In the mere ten days since the bill’s signing, U.S. debt has ballooned by approximately $450 billion, pushing the total closer to $37.2 trillion USD as we stand today —a figure that dwarfs the U.S. and subsequently the world’s economy’s capacity to bear such a burden (when considering the debt levels of other nations) pushing everyday citizens closer and closer to the next economic shock.
The annual interest payments on this monstrous debt are nothing short of a financial tempest, ravaging the nation’s coffers. In 2024, the U.S. shelled out a colossal $1.1 trillion USD to service its debt, the first time in history interest payments on the U.S. national debt crossed $1 trillion USD in a single year. A sum that eclipses defense spending and threatens to choke out other vital programs that help lower the cost of living or increase the standard of living of citizens. By 2034, experts warn that these payments could spiral to a cataclysmic $2 trillion annually, driven by the bill’s reckless expansion of borrowing and rising interest rates. Even now, in 2025, the Congressional Budget Office projects interest costs at $952 billion, a daily hemorrhage of $2.6 billion, with forecasts predicting a rise to $4.9 billion per day by 2035 or earlier! At some point, we need to stop and ask ourselves how long we can dig ourselves further and further into debt before we turn back to sound money such as silver and gold to stabilize the debt cycle the world finds itself in. In the meantime, countries are prioritizing their ownership, and it is a clear signal individuals should be doing the same.
As if the debt’s shadow weren’t ominous enough, the markets are sounding their own apocalyptic alarm! Since the signing of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” on July 4th, 2025, silver prices have surged a blistering 5.34%, while copper has roared upward by an electrifying 9.14%! These metals, the very lifeblood of industry and bellwethers of economic health, are screaming that higher inflation is barreling toward us like a runaway freight train! Silver, critical for solar panels, electronics, and batteries, and copper, the backbone of renewable energy and infrastructure, are not merely rising—they are heralding a storm of rising costs. Their price surges signal tightening supplies and insatiable demand, fueled by the bill’s economic distortions, the global race toward green energy and talks of 50% tariffs on copper coming into the United States. This metallic rebellion warns of an economy teetering on the edge, where every uptick in their value portends higher production costs, which are passed onto consumers, fanning the flames of an already smoldering inflationary inferno.
This debt deluge and the metals’ clarion call fuel an inflationary bonfire that scorches the wallets of everyday citizens! As the government borrows more, it floods the economy with borrowed dollars, devaluing the currency and public cash or digital savings as well as igniting a relentless rise in prices. The more fuel that gets poured on this fire, drives up Treasury yields and, in turn, the cost of mortgages, car loans, and credit card debt. A 30-year mortgage, already straining at nearly 7%, could climb to 8% or higher, slamming the door on homeownership for millions unless you’ve saved in assets like silver and gold that have historically risen in value in these financial environments. The bond market, sounding alarms, demands higher yields to offset the risk of this fiscal madness, pushing up borrowing costs across the board.
The cost of living, already battered by inflation that spiked to 9% under prior policies a few years ago, now faces a new onslaught, exacerbated by the surging prices of silver and copper, which ripple through industries from construction to technology. This is no mere policy misstep; it’s a fiscal hurricane, threatening a debt spiral that could erode the dollar’s value, decimate savings, and plunge the nation into economic chaos. As Ray Dalio warns, unchecked deficits could lead to “big, painful disruptions,” with the debt-to-GDP ratio potentially soaring to an unbelievably unsustainable 200% in the decades to come, if this trajectory persists. America, as the holder of the world reserve currency, stands at the precipice, with the specter of a devalued dollar, skyrocketing precious metal prices, and a weakened economy looming large, all while the cost-of-living climbs ever higher. It is becoming more and more obvious to a larger percentage of the population that something is wrong with how our financial system is structured due to the money at the core of it being bad and holding no real value. Countries of the world are quickly turning toward gold and silver, the only question that remains is, “are you going to join them?”.
