The United States of America is broke. Unexpectedly, and completely bypassing the financial markets, Donald <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Duck <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">(78)<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> has now taken over \u201ca company\u201d facing bankruptcy, for the sixth time. Quite simply, he can no longer use the national budget to pay for many government services because the tax pots are empty; the USA is hardly selling any government bonds, as it used to do when everyone thought the USA was strong and rich. Although, in fact, it wasn\u2019t at all. It never was. And Donald <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Duck<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> is a president who has been convicted by the court in New York and therefore has a criminal record. And what does a bankrupt do when his back is against the wall?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">He makes mistakes. He is closing down organisations such as USAID by decree, because they are creating holes in the balance sheets of the \u201ccompany USA\u201d; he is withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, because he considers it to be too expensive and useless; and he is preparing the US Internal Revenue Service so that he can lay off thousands of employees in the coming weeks. According to two people familiar with the subject, this will save salaries and wages. ECO123 has drawn back the curtain of the USA state theatre just a little and taken a look behind the scenes. The exact number of redundancies is still uncertain. Under the administration of former President Joe Biden, the agency\u2019s staff had grown to around 100,000 people in number. Biden wanted to expand the tax authority\u2019s powers in order to scrutinise the tax payments received from companies, and, in particular, the contributions made by wealthy taxpayers, among other things. Elon Musk?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Despite all the prophecies of doom, the banks have repeatedly provided both Donald <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">D.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">, on the one hand, and the USA, on the other hand, with loans and financing. But, as ECO123 has just learned from the AP news agency, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Duck<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> not only has to impose import tariffs on all EU goods in order to replenish the US taxpayers\u2019 coffers for 2025, but he must also impose various tariffs on goods imported from China, the world&#8217;s largest economy. Without the import tariffs imposed on Canadian and Mexican products, the USA would be practically finished in financial terms. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Donald D.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i> could then write off Greenland anyway\u2026<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>STOP.<\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> Take a deep breath and have a short break before you continue reading.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72166\" src=\"http:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janet-Yellen.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janet-Yellen.png 1800w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janet-Yellen-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janet-Yellen-1536x1022.png 1536w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janet-Yellen-310x205.png 310w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janet-Yellen-24x16.png 24w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janet-Yellen-36x24.png 36w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janet-Yellen-71x47.png 71w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Do you remember? In recent years, the USA has been plagued by various budget crises because all governments have spent more money than they have succeeded in taking in. In the middle of the current budget year of 2024, the US government accounts were so empty that the previous Treasury Secretary could no longer repay the US debt. The worst-case scenario painted on the wall by Janet Yellen, who was Treasury Secretary until recently, was that the loans could no longer be serviced, and government employees could no longer be paid on time unless additional money was found (on credit, of course). However, as a debtor, the US has always been able to skilfully conceal what was going on behind the scenes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Ever since an actor named Ronald Reagan became the 40th president in the White House in 1981, successive governments have always just managed to avoid bankruptcy. This situation is now set to end. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Donald D.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> finally wants to be honest, although there is no actual question of his \u2018wanting\u2019 to do so. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>He has to.<\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> The <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">100.000 <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">American soldiers stationed in Europe are also due to be brought home before the end of the year. \u201cWe simply have no more money,\u201d <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Duck<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> is said to have replied to questions from a small circle of journalists.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">After decades of denying reality, the USA now finds itself under severe pressure. As the Associated Press news agency learned from the Oval Office, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Duck<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> is said to have given Elon Musk far-reaching powers to bring spending into line with the amount of revenue that is received by the American state apparatus. No, the carnival did not play a role in this decision. In the future, Americans, who are used to living on credit and paying for everything with credit cards, will finally have to become accustomed to buying only what they can really afford to do so, and then purchasing preferably domestic products. And import tariffs are known to make foreign goods considerably more expensive: cars, clothing, electronic toys <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>Made in China<\/i><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">In the midst of this whole business, the really stupid people are the American consumers themselves, with their dependence on loans. Of course, the USA could finance itself without this ridiculous customs spectacle. All you would have to do is raise taxes accordingly and accrue greater revenue from billionaires. But loudmouth Donald <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Duck<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> doesn&#8217;t (yet) dare to do that, as long as Elon Musk from Tesla, X and <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>Star Wars<\/i><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> continues to do the dirty work for the first US president to be convicted of criminal offences.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">On 29 December 2024, Janet Yellen wrote a letter to all members of Congress, in which she clearly stated the truth. The letter from the outgoing US Treasury Secretary to Congress turned out to be a dramatic warning: once again, the government was in danger of defaulting on its loan repayments to creditors at home and abroad. In order to avoid being in default \u2013 one might even say in order to avoid national bankruptcy \u2013 Yellen said that she would have to take \u2018extraordinary measures\u2019 as early as January. Donald <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Duck<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"> is now taking these measures, firstly at the 2025 Munich Security Conference, where he stated that he can no longer pre-finance NATO\u2019s financial obligations for the Europeans\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Are we looking at the national bankruptcy of the world\u2019s largest economic power? The Americans have enacted this spectacle so often that many observers are beginning to get bored and are turning away. It\u2019s all theatre. But is it really? The background to all of this is that there is a statutory upper limit for the level of national debt in the USA. If the government reaches this limit, it is no longer allowed to issue new promissory notes in order to finance its current expenditure and pay off old loans. To prevent this situation from happening, Republicans and Democrats regularly raise the debt limit \u2013 but not without weeks of arguing, haggling and threatening beforehand. Party politics is teetering on the edge of the abyss. This is democracy, American-style.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">What is often overlooked is that Congress is playing poker with ever higher stakes. The US national debt now totals an unimaginable <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>36 trillion dollars<\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">; should the last-minute compromise fail to be achieved, the shockwave will quickly engulf the entire global economy. The likely consequences will be recession, stock market chaos, job losses and bank failures. So, before we continue to buy US government bonds in order to bail out the American government, we should think twice: we should not bail out the Americans this time and invest in the EU Commission\u2019s Green Deal instead.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72157\" src=\"http:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/istockphoto-1-Dollar-png.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/istockphoto-1-Dollar-png.png 612w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/istockphoto-1-Dollar-png-24x16.png 24w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/istockphoto-1-Dollar-png-36x24.png 36w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/istockphoto-1-Dollar-png-71x47.png 71w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>Is the stability of the USA important for its creditworthiness?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">How can it be that the USA still dares to live on the razor&#8217;s edge? Should we Europeans allow ourselves to be led by the nose time and time again? And why do the world\u2019s governments, central banks, insurers, credit institutions and other investors keep lending their money to such an unsafe client?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Until now, the explanation for this situation has always been the United States\u2019 unique position in the global structure. For many decades, the country has had not only the strongest economy, but also the world\u2019s most important currency and the largest capital markets, as well as a powerful defence force. More than half of all cross-border transactions around the world are conducted in dollars, and the demand for the US currency is correspondingly high. And this is precisely where the American import tariffs are meant to have an effect. Yet, on the other hand, in order to ensure that the money earns a decent interest, or at least that it doesn&#8217;t lie pointlessly in an account in Lisbon, London, Tokyo or Berlin until it is needed, the owners have invested it in US government bonds, at least until now. In other words, investors have been lending their money to US governments and thus supporting the very system that is supposedly faltering with every fresh dispute over raising the statutory borrowing limit. So, now we are witnessing the first signs of a giant beginning to totter and betraying its friends in \u2018the free world\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Donald <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Duck<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">, aged 78, who recently became the 47th new president in the White House, is a former estate agent. He knows exactly what state the USA was in when he took over. After all, this is his second term in office. So, his maxim is quite simply to cut spending and increase revenue in order to survive. He is first and foremost a gambler and an actor, and he is a fraud, a convicted fraud who should never have been allowed to run in the presidential elections.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72163\" src=\"http:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dollarnote_siegel_hq.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dollarnote_siegel_hq.jpg 720w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dollarnote_siegel_hq-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dollarnote_siegel_hq-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dollarnote_siegel_hq-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dollarnote_siegel_hq-47x47.jpg 47w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">And he is a traitor, a traitor to Ukraine.
