US Debt Collapse? Shocking Forecast for 2025!
Today, Steve Barton welcomes back global macro strategist John Polomny for one of the most direct assessments of America's economic future. In a blistering analysis, John lays bare the structural rot inside U.S. politics, the unrelenting rise of national debt, and the financial engineering quietly pushing the country toward currency debasement and fiscal collapse.
John warns that the political class—regardless of party—has no will to reduce spending. Instead, he predicts an inevitable pivot to yield curve control and stealth monetary interventions as the Fed scrambles to contain exploding interest obligations. This isn’t a drill—it's the slow-motion breakdown of the post-Bretton Woods economic order.
Amid the chaos, there is opportunity. John outlines where the smart capital is going next: energy, hard assets, and deeply undervalued commodities. This is more than a forecast—it’s a survival guide for the decade ahead.
