Since 2020 alone, we have printed over $6 TRILLION.• Stage 3 (Debt Spiral): The US owes 36TRILLION∗∗,with interest payments approaching∗∗1 trillion per year—more than we spend on defense.• Stage 4 (Productive Capacity Loss): We import $800 billion more than we export annually, dependent on foreign supply chains.• Stage 5 (Social Decay): Drug overdoses kill 100,000 Americans annually, and political dysfunction is total.The Final Threat (Stages 6 & 7): We analyze Stage 6 (Loss of Reserve Currency Status) and the ultimate danger of Stage 7 (SUDDEN IMPLOSION).
