GoldSilver Your share of the national debt: $111,000 (and climbing)

Essential Gold and Silver News Delivered to Your Inbox Every Week

The US National Debt More than Doubled Over the Past Decade

Hello GoldSilver family,

Another trillion in debt — in approximately 211 days.

The U.S. national debt has climbed from $36 trillion to over $37 trillion in roughly seven months. That's about $4.7 billion added every single day.

The last time America had a federal budget surplus? That was back in 2001.

Since then, year after year of unchecked spending and mounting deficits caused the national debt to double over the past decade. As of 2024, our national debt has grown to 124% of GDP.

And the cost of servicing this debt? Interest payments account for 10.7% of all federal spending in 2023 — a burden continuing to grow heavier as rates stay elevated...

Where Does It End?

Trump's proposed tax-and-spending bill, which could add trillions in deficits, will only worsen the situation. More and more Americans are waking up to the fact that this path is unsustainable.

Throughout history, nations have tried to spend their way out of trouble — funding endless wars while everyday savers foot the bill. The pattern is predictable: currencies debase, purchasing power erodes, and those who trusted paper promises lose.

That’s why now — more than ever — it's critical to take proactive steps to safeguard what you’ve worked so hard to build. Physical precious metals remain one of the few assets with no counterparty risk, no printing press, and no political agenda.

Tangible, time-tested, and trusted — real assets for uncertain times.

The Death of Wall Street? Why Smart Money Is Going Local

There’s a quiet revolution unfolding — one you won’t hear much about in the headlines.

Centralized control is breaking down. And in its place, Main Street capitalism is making a comeback — fueled by those who understand real money (gold, Bitcoin) and community-first businesses.

If you’ve sensed a major shift underway, this conversation connects the dots — and shows how smart investors are already positioning themselves. 

Gold and Dollar Rising Together? Here's Why It's Happening

Most investors believe it's either/or: gold rises when the dollar falls, and vice versa. 

But what if both could rise simultaneously?

Mike Maloney sat down with Brent Johnson at Rebel Capitalist Live to unpack exactly that — and how it fits into the Dollar Milkshake Theory that’s gaining traction fast.

If you want to understand what’s driving capital flows today — and how to position yourself smartly — don’t miss this one.
