The latest Gold Silver Show with Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard tackles one of the most staggering realities of our time: America’s runaway national debt. At more than $37 trillion — and climbing by the second — the numbers are almost too big to comprehend. But as Mike and Alan show, the consequences are impossible to ignore.
A Debt That Reaches the Moon
Put simply, today’s debt is astronomical. A stack of $37 trillion in dollar bills would reach the moon ten times over. Per citizen, the burden now tops $108,000 — closer to $300,000 if you count only taxpayers. And when you add unfunded liabilities like Social Security and Medicare, estimates balloon to $120–160 trillion. That’s nearly $1 million per taxpayer.
From Minutes to Years of Work
In 1835, the last time the U.S. briefly paid off its debt, each American’s share was less than a penny. A worker could cover it in under three minutes of labor. Today, it would take nearly 3,500 hours — almost two years — of full-time work to cover just one person’s share. For taxpayers, the math looks even worse.
The Only “Solution” Left
History shows there’s no real way to pay down this mountain of debt. The government’s escape hatch has always been the same: inflate it away. And inflation, by definition, destroys the purchasing power of dollars while driving investors toward real money — gold and silver.
Act Before the Herd
As Mike warns, most investors wait until gold is $5,000 or even $10,000 before rushing in. But by then, the wealth transfer will already be underway. The choice today is simple: protect yourself with gold and silver now — or wait until panic sets in and pay much more later.
