The U.S. "manifests" $40 trillion in debt

Editor's note: If you want to run an empire, a US dollar empire, it takes trillions, and trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars...anyone else notice the manifesting industry, the idea you can manifest it is whatever you want? There are more than one-hundred thousand YouTube channels on manifesting with the owners of those channels all hustling a version of their own version or take on manifesting. The most recent version of this are the YouTube manifestation channels using white boards, the white board manifestors. Want a new Mercedes Benz in your garage? No problem, just manifest it. Why is it this bizarre manifestation industry was spawned in America? Must be the pyramid capital of the world attached at the hip to their central bank that can "manifest" fiat currency out of nothing. Look at the U.S.'s vassal state in manifesting crime Japan, where the debt to GDP ratio is well over 200 percent (depending on source). Japan is a big player in manifesting debt, massive debts, a record ¥1,346.6833 trillion (about $8.5 trillion) as of the end of June 2026, and like the U.S. these debts can never be repaid - not ever.

US debt races toward 40 trillion in 2 weeks after quadrupling since 2008

National debt is the outstanding financial obligations of a country. The national debt of the United States is what the federal government owes to its creditors.

The U.S. has always carried national debt, and the majority of presidents have added to it. However, total national debt has been expanding rapidly since 2008 due to a combination of increased government spending and failure to raise taxes.1

Understanding the National Debt

The federal government borrows money to cover outstanding expenses that accumulate over time. Funds for federal spending are mainly generated by collecting taxes on personal and corporate income, payroll earnings, and borrowing.

The government then spends this money on programs such as Social Security, healthcare, education, infrastructure, and national defense. When the government spends less than the revenue collected through taxes, there is a budget surplus. When government spending exceeds its revenue, the result is a budget deficit.

To pay for this deficit, the U.S. Treasury borrows money by issuing Treasury bills, notes, and bonds. These can be purchased by investors, financial institutions such as banks and insurers, the Federal Reserve, and other foreign central banks.

The national debt, which is also referred to as government, federal, or public debt, is made up of this borrowing along with the interest owed to investors who purchased these Treasury securities.

Japan is a tax regime currently run by the Aso/Takaichi Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) faction "running the country like a family business, cronies first, everyone else an afterthought." The tax regime in Japan is now treating foreign residents as scapegoats that is encouraging established foreign residents to leave Japan rather than continue building their lives there:
