US defaults on debt in 2025?

A controversial proposal by Senator Mike Lee to sell federal lands to address the national debt, which has surged from $18 trillion to $36 trillion, has sparked outrage as it would cover only a tiny fraction of the debt. Concerns are mounting over the unsustainable debt levels, with warnings of potential default, currency devaluation, and economic catastrophe if spending isn't curbed.

National Debt Crisis

If we sold off every parcel of land that H1B Mike Lee has proposed, that would net between $10-30B.

30 billion dollars on the high side.

30 billion dollars is a lot of money to you and I, but it's only .01% of the national debt.

So you see how dishonest the whole argument is,

Our government does a lot of slimy stuff, but the proposal to sell tons of beautiful federal lands to pay an absurdly small percentage the national debt is one of the slimiest things our government’s ever proposed.

It can’t be allowed to pass — these lands are our birthright. https://t.co/bizhEYU4K4

you guys know that a HUGE portion of our national debt is because of middle eastern wars that were sold to us as quick and easy endeavors right......?

RIGHT&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;!!!!!

Over the last 10 years, US Federal Government Tax Revenue has increased 60% to over $5 Trillion while Government Spending has increased 97% to over $7 Trillion.

The result: a doubling of the US National Debt from $18 trillion to $36 trillion.

When a currency devalues or inflation eats away at a reserve asset, why would any nation cling to it as a true measure of value?

In a world buried in debt, there are only three exits: 

1) Explosive growth
2) Deliberate devaluation.
3) Default. 

When growth fails, devaluation

US National Debt has increased from $23 trillion in 2019 to over $36 trillion today. We still have a $2 trillion deficit, making any notion of a debt "ceiling" a complete farce. It will soon be raised and we'll quickly see $37 trillion in National Debt.

This is SLAVERY. 

MASSIVE DEBT DEFAULT IMMINENT. https://t.co/kkBziASxnC

The single greatest threat to the United States is our National Debt — and no amount of foreign wars or overseas spending will fix it. 

You can’t bomb your way out of bankruptcy — but you can bomb your way into it.

The clock is ticking once again on the need to raise the nation’s debt limit, and an unusual political alliance is trying to take averting an economically devastating government default off Congress’s plate for good. https://t.co/Uow6xLNQRr

Aren’t AAA ratings supposed to mean ultra-safe?

Credit Default Swaps (CDS) are like insurance on a country’s debt.
Higher the CDS spread = higher perceived risk of default.

Despite vastly different ratings, market pricing tells a different story.

The U.S. CDS spread is https://t.co/SbPicdUw3m

The U.S. national debt hitting $59 trillion? It’s a ticking time bomb, and the market is blissfully unaware.

An extension, amendment, or replacement of the New START treaty will qualify, provided it is publicly announced as a concluded agreement by both parties within the time frame. Exploratory discussions or stated intent to extend without a finalized agreement will not qualify.

Agreements that include both the United States and Russia as named parties—whether bilateral or as part of a broader multilateral framework—will qualify, provided the agreement directly addresses nuclear arms control.

The agreement does not need to be ratified or implemented for this market to resolve "Yes"; a formal announcement of a concluded agreement is sufficient.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the U.S. government (e.g., the White House, State Department) and/or the Russian Federation (e.g., the Kremlin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs). However, a clear and overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that such an agreement has been reached will also qualify.

Tom Lee charged by December 31?

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump signs any federal legislation into law or performs any executive action which creates or orders the creation of a federal cap on credit card interest rates in the United States by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”.

A “cap on credit card interest rates” is defined as a legally binding maximum interest rate (e.g., an APR ceiling, stated as a percentage) that makes it unlawful for credit card issuers to charge above a specified rate of interest on consumer credit cards. Non-binding guidance, agency recommendations, actions that only cap fees, or other actions that do not cap interest rates/APR will not qualify.

A qualifying action must apply broadly to consumer credit card interest rates in the United States. State-level caps or actions that only apply to a narrow subset of borrowers or lenders will not qualify. Limited exceptions, however, will not disqualify an action from counting (e.g. a cap which is broadly applicable to consumer credit card interest rates in the U.S., but exempts a limited and specific set of credit card products/categories would still count).

Any legislation or executive action (including executive orders, proclamations, and memoranda) which creates or directly orders the implementation of a qualifying cap will count. Announcements, proposals, requests for study, or other actions that do not themselves create or order the creation of such a cap will not count. A qualifying action within the market’s time frame will count regardless of when the cap goes into effect or any legal or other challenges it may face after enactment.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the United States federal government; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
