fixed! the u.s. economy runs on a cycle of debt and promises rather than real value creation. the dollar holds value because other countries, like china and iran, invest in u.s. treasury bonds, effectively lending money to the government. this debt accumulates interest, adding to the national debt. money is often created out of thin air—when banks issue loans or when the government funds bailouts, it’s essentially issuing an “i owe you” backed by faith in the system. since the 1970s, economic growth has been fueled more by consumer credit than wage increases, forcing people to borrow to maintain their standard of living. housing is a prime example, where affordability is driven by lower interest rates and higher debt, rather than fair wages. corporations and financial institutions shape policies in their favor, leading to a system where stock markets rise while jobs vanish, and those without wealth struggle to stay afloat. ultimately, the economy prioritizes endless consumption and debt over sustainability and fair wages, benefiting those who control capital while leaving the average person behind.
