This Is a Debt Spiral by Design and Tariffs Will Accelerate the Breakdown | Lyn Alden

Описание: The U.S. is running fiscal deficits over 7% of GDP. Interest payments are outpacing tax revenue. Bitcoin recently crossed $120,000. Gold is holding above $3,300. And now, Lyn Alden warns: this system wasn’t broken - it was designed this way.

In this Kitco News interview, Lyn Alden joins Jeremy Szafron to explain why U.S. deficits are structurally entrenched, how tariffs could accelerate the monetary breakdown, and why decentralized alternatives - from Bitcoin to stablecoins - are absorbing capital. Alden also breaks down the stealth CBDC risk in pending crypto legislation, the role of Tether in financing U.S. debt, and what this all means for portfolio strategy going forward.

Alden says fiscal dominance - not Fed policy - is now steering the macro environment, and warns that the bond bull market may be over for good.

-Structural U.S. deficits and interest expense spiral
