Gold at $5,000–$10,000? The U.S. Debt Spiral Is Coming

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.

Gold vs. Fiat Currency: A 50-Year Reckoning

When governments abandoned gold-backed money in the 1970s, they didn’t just change monetary policy — they rewired human behavior. Understanding that shift is key to understanding where precious metals are headed.

The Dollar Is Losing Ground. Here’s Why It Matters.

Most dollar headlines are either pure panic or total dismissal. The truth is more uncomfortable. Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff predicts the yuan becomes a global reserve currency within five years — and IMF data shows the dollar’s share of global reserves has been quietly falling for over two decades. Here’s what that slow shift actually means for your purchasing power.

Gold Jumps on Iran Deal Hopes. The Real Driver Is the Fed

Gold and silver spiked Wednesday after Axios reported the US and Iran are close to a one-page peace deal. Most coverage is calling it a safe-haven trade. It isn’t. A Hormuz reopening lowers oil, cools PCE inflation, and gives the Fed room to cut rates — and compressed real yields are the engine behind every major gold rally. Here’s why the mechanism matters more than the headline.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
