As Debt Turns Into Darkness
By Max Borders
Editor's Note: The U.S. national debt now stands at more than $35,006,892,939,492. Interest on the debt is now the highest federal expenditure, more than Medicare or Defense. It is unsustainable.
With Hamas's attack on Israeli innocents last October, one can sense the weary Hegemon rousing itself again. Senator Lindsay Graham is licking his lips with a forked tongue, engorged by the possibility of getting what he’s always wanted—war with Iran. The mullahs almost certainly provided material support for the terror campaign that left more than 600 Israelis dead, including women and children.

They know the barbarity of the attacks could be enough to provoke the likes of Victoria Nuland into deadly conflict, which the Islamists will embrace with open arms as a ticket to Heaven. They know the U.S. is in decline. They witnessed the ignominy of the Afghanistan withdrawal, the waste and inefficacy of the Ukraine proxy war, the perforated southern border, and a zombie population distracted by bread, circuses, and sensationalism.

It’s almost as if America is being baited into accelerating its own decline. The Welfare-Warfare State grinds on, animated by some unholy mixture of debt and despair that only Moloch could concoct.
Consider these passages from the introduction to After Collapse, pegged to a new foreword on the grotesque events in Israel.


"The deep fiscal and monetary structures of the US economy, which have not changed in 200 years, will generate the next boom and bust just as they have done so in the past. But the Crash of 2026 will be much worse than that of 2008 because as the US government continues its annual trillion-dollar deficits, by 2024, the US debt will have grown so large that US bonds will no longer be considered safe, and in the financial crisis, the US will no longer be able to borrow the funds needed to bail out the financial firms."
— Fred Folvary, from “The Depression of 2026” (2012)

"He who promises runs in debt."
— The Talmud

TOTAL DEBT: $31,462,154,854,903

That was U.S. debt in dollars somewhere in the middle of writing this, well before these words could reach your eyes. To most people, it’s just a great big number. The difference between a billion and a trillion and a jillion is numerology: Someone will ascribe significance to it, but it's too abstract to have meaning.

To put matters in perspective, we can divide that very long number by 325 million, which is approximately the U.S. population. Now the results will be a little more concrete: $96,806. That is the bill the federal government will hand my three-year-old daughter, Sophia—that is, unless her children end up with it, too. It's an amount she might have used to pay too much for college loans. Of course, it’s not just Sophia's bill. It’s the bill of every man, woman, and child in America.

I don't know about you, but I don't have that kind of money.
