Is the US economy on the brink of collapse?



While the media is preoccupied with sensational headlines, an economic "heart attack" is silently unfolding.

The numbers don't lie,

and what's happening today in the US markets isn't just a "correction,"

it's the pressure reaching a breaking point.

We are facing the worst levels of institutional and economic crisis since the 2008 disaster.

1. The guillotine of major corporations
In the last three weeks, 18 major companies have fallen into bankruptcy.

We're talking about multi-billion dollar companies collapsing at a rate of six per week.

We haven't seen this pace since the height of the pandemic and the depths of the 2008 crisis.

When "heavyweight" companies start collapsing like this,
it means that the liquidity crunch has reached its peak.

2. The "crushed" consumer and historic debt
The real danger isn't just in the budgets, but in people's pockets.

Household debt has reached a staggering $18.8 trillion.

But the real disaster isn't the size of the debt,
it's the inability to repay it.

Credit card default rates have jumped to 12.7%,
a faster rate of default than we saw during the 2008 financial crisis!

-- 3. Young People: The First Victims
Worryingly, the demographic that drives consumption (18-39 years old) is the most affected by default.

When young people lose their ability to spend due to accumulating debt for education, cars, and credit cards,
the primary engine of the economy grinds to a halt.

-- The Bottom Line:
What does this mean for you?

We are living in the "late cycle."

Companies are going bankrupt, consumers are defaulting, and debt is at an all-time high.

This combination is usually followed by "surgical intervention" from the Federal Reserve through interest rate cuts and injecting liquidity to salvage what can be saved.

But history teaches us that intervention often comes after the damage has already been done.
