“The Next Financial Crisis Is Staring Us In The Face”…
Now America is 68 trillion dollars in debt, and our day of reckoning is so close that even the mainstream media is sounding the alarm. http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/global-markets-continue-to-fall-as-bloomberg-warns-the-next-financial-crisis-is-staring-us-in-the-face
4 Pillars of Debt in Danger of Collapse
By Nomi Prins
The big banks got subsidies and were propped up by quantitative easing (QE) to resurrect themselves into appearing financially healthy. The same cannot be said of all consumers in the country.
It’s consumers that have now piled on debt — and at much higher interest rates than the banks and large corporations have been given.
Indeed, to make ends meet, there have been four main pillars of consumer debt that have hit new records.
According to a recent New York Federal Reserve Bank report, total consumer debt is at higher levels now than going into the financial crisis.
By breaking down what that debt is, you can best understand how to navigate the world of finance, understand your own portfolio better and make more sound investments.
Here they are:
Overall Household Debt.
The state of household debt, which literally takes into account the combined debt within a given household, continues to flash red. According to a 2017 household financial survey by the Fed, “About one-quarter of U.S. adults have no retirement savings. And 41% say they would not have enough savings to cover a $400 emergency expense.”
The overall level of consumer debt has hit a new record. … The total borrowing of Americans hit $13.29 {trillion} …
Credit Card Debt.
The total of U.S. credit card loans has increased by $45 billion this year to a massive $829 billion total. …
Student Loan Debt. …
Currently, the amount of student loans grew to $1.41 trillion in the second quarter of 2018 …
Auto Debt.
While the rising cost of manufacturing autos has impacted the automotive sector, it has not deterred consumers from borrowing money.
Total auto debt in the U.S. has shot up to $1.24 trillion. …
Our economy rests upon four crumbling pillars of debt. If one of these collapses, the entire superstructure may not be far behind. 10/11/18 https://dailyreckoning.com/pillars-debt-danger-of-collapse/
Yes, the economy could collapse because of debt. Now, the $68 trillion figure tends to include obligations as opposed to simply federal treasury notes–the ‘official’ US Federal Debt is a little under $23 trillion. And that does NOT include consumer debt, corporate debt, state and local government debt, nor unfunded federal liabilities.
As far as far as corporate and consumer debt goes, a couple of years ago the Daily Reckoning also had the following by Nomi Prins:
Four Horses Of The U.S. Debt Apocalypse
Crises are based on compound bets (or debts) gone awry. …
Over the past two decades, we’ve seen the emerging-market collapse in the late 1990s, the Enron-led crime spree in 2001–02 and the housing-spawned financial crisis of 2008. Since that last crisis, the Fed’s cheap money policy has helped big banks and corporate customers, but most regular people have not fully recovered.
Regardless of whether the Fed raises rates or keeps recklessly bating business media about the possibility, these connected debt pockets can crush the economy again. Here, I’ll lay out how they can push us over the edge. Understanding these connected debt bubbles means that you can not only survive the looming implosion but also come out ahead.
One: Student Loans — The student loan debt bomb is exploding … Americans owe about $1.3 trillion in student loan debt across 43 million borrowers. This a HUGE increase from $260 billion in 2004. …
Two: Subprime Auto Loans — You may have heard about the record amount of auto sales recently — over $1 trillion. …
Three: Credit Cards — U.S. credit card debit will surpass $1 trillion this year …
Four: 99% of Corporates’ Cash/Debt Ratios Are Poor …
These four horses of debt, galloping toward us simultaneously from different sectors, don’t show any sign of slowing.
They will trigger the U.S. Debt Apocalypse, bringing more defaults, vast job cuts and economic fallout than even the Great Recession. August 30, 2016 http://dailyreckoning.com/the-four-horses-of-us-debt/
Nomi Prins latest report shows that debt still remains a problem.
Plus, official USA government debt has increased.
Many ‘pundits’ act like all this debt is acceptable and fine.
But it is not.
Actually, the Bible indicates this debt should be frightening and cause people to run:
2 And the Lord answered me:
“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but the righteous shall live by his faith.5 “Moreover, wine is a traitor,
an arrogant man who is never at rest.
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death he has never enough.
He gathers for himself all nations
and collects as his own all peoples.”6 Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,
“Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own—
for how long?—
and loads himself with pledges!”
7 Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
and those awake who will make you tremble?
Then you will be spoil for them.
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them. (Habakkuk 2:2-8; English Standard Version)
The arrogance of political leaders in increasing the debt will not happen forever. The USA is the most indebted nation in the history of humanity and those in it should try to understand this prophecy–a prophecy that says the indebted nation (the USA) will be taken over.
The USA is facing MANY debt problems.
Debt will be a factor in the attack against the USA at the start of the Great Tribulation.
