The US debt clock now ticks faster than a reactor core in meltdown. We just crossed another trillion while the Federal Reserve prints the same currency to service interest on the previous trillion. This is not fiscal policy; it is institutionalized fraud. The Roman Empire did not fall to barbarians at the gates. It fell when the denarius lost 95% of its silver content and the state relied on debt monetization to pay its soldiers. History does not warn us. It repeats. The only exit is hard.
