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

Wake up call: bond market on high alert!

My recent viral video flagged warning signs in U.S. Treasuries – weak demand, surging yields and Moody’s downgrade – while U.S. national debt barrels toward US$37 trillion.

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

Remember, debt doesn’t just grow; it compounds. A recession could catapult us into a fiscal black hole. Smart money is already positioning for this reality. https://t.co/MarKt9ovQb

Goldman Sachs says Trump’s spending plan won’t stop the national debt from hitting ‘unsustainable’ highs not seen since World War II https://t.co/67xMAmA2eK https://t.co/J6FlCKpSkW

Why are we even listening to them?

Moody’s downgraded US ratings. 
US is in debt spiral.
More than 25% of receipts are repaying interest on national debt.
All sorts of private debt delinquencies are sky high.

No one is buying US debt instead dumping them https://t.co/3G9zGeW2Gn

The US doesn't create unlimited dollars out of thin air, the Treasury  Dept holds bond auctions when it needs money. With the National Debt at $37T, and Congress showing no willingness to cut spending, it gets harder to find buyers. https://t.co/tM9id2QhyY

-Establishing a Federal Reserve emergency lending facility
-Creating an FDIC-assisted resolution or bridge bank
-A U.S. Treasury capital injection
-A publicly disclosed, regulatory-facilitated acquisition

An official announcement from the U.S. government that they are taking any of these actions will qualify regardless of if/when the action occurs.
 
Routine access to standing facilities (such as the discount window or BTFP) or participation in stress tests, capital raises, or ordinary supervision will not on their own qualify.

If the exemption is eliminated only for specific types or classes of municipal bonds (e.g., only newly issued bonds, only bonds from certain states or localities, or only bonds purchased after a certain date), it will still count toward a "Yes" resolution for this market.

If the bill is signed into law, or executive action is instituted before the resolution date, it will suffice to resolve this market to "Yes" regardless of when it takes effect.

Agreements that include the United States and China as parties, even if they also involve other countries will qualify for resolution.

The primary resolution source for this market will be an official announcement by the United States and the People's Republic of China, however an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming an agreement has been reached will also qualify.
