America’s $37 Trillion Debt Spiral: Are We Witnessing the Fall of a Superpower?

In a sobering opinion piece, Myra Adams warns that the United States may be entering a debt-fueled national decline, likening it to a "death spiral." Drawing on historical data and expert analysis, she points to the $36.9 trillion national debt, now surpassing 123% of GDP, and argues that economic growth alone won’t be enough to reverse course — contrary to what current policymakers, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, claim.

Adams outlines how past post-WWII prosperity helped the U.S. escape high debt levels, but today's environment — marked by inflation, demographic shifts, global crises, and technological disruption — is far less conducive to similar growth.

Compounding the problem, interest on the debt now exceeds U.S. defense spending, a tipping point that Hoover Institution fellow Niall Ferguson warns could mark the end of American global dominance. He notes that any great power that spends more on debt servicing than on national security is at risk of collapse.

Adams concludes that while hope exists, it may not be enough to reverse the trajectory. Cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are inevitable, but politically and socially explosive. Meanwhile, war looms, enemies circle, and America’s economic foundation cracks — a troubling forecast for anyone expecting a financial or geopolitical rebound. Read More.

Rick Rule Predicts 75% Dollar Collapse—Here’s the One Asset He’s Banking On

Legendary investor Rick Rule warns that the U.S. dollar could lose 75% of its purchasing power over the next 10 years due to the country’s massive unfunded liabilities—totaling over $100 trillion when including programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. He argues that the only way to manage these debts is to allow the dollar to lose value.

To protect himself, Rule avoids saving in dollars and instead saves in gold, which he sees as a hedge against inflation and currency collapse. He believes gold could spike as high as $12,000 per ounce, up roughly 249%, not because he wants it to—but because he’s afraid it might need to.

He’s not alone—other experts like Ray Dalio also endorse gold as a resilient portfolio diversifier. For individuals, a gold IRA is one way to protect retirement savings while gaining tax advantages.

The article also promotes real estate as a reliable hedge against inflation, offering options like crowdfunding rental homes via Arrived (backed by Jeff Bezos) and investing in U.S. home equity through Homeshares, which provides access to institutional-level real estate opportunities with promising returns and less hassle.
