THEY CALLED IT BEAUTIFUL.
Dear Reader,
Congress just voted to add $5.5 trillion to the national debt. In the name of tax cuts. In the name of growth. In the name of making America great again.
They named the bill the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
I have a different word for it.
In today’s issue:
• The real number behind the beautiful name — and what it means for every dollar you own today
• All three major rating agencies have now stripped America’s AAA credit rating. What that tells you about the “safe” bonds in your retirement account
• A new Fed Chair just walked into a burning building. Here is why it does not matter who holds the fire hose
• Remember Tesla at $17. A few turned $50,000 into over $1.5 million in just over a decade. Now a major SpaceX IPO could be around the corner. Learn more
Let me give you the real number first.
The United States national debt is $38.9 trillion. That is $116,000 per citizen. Every man, woman, and child in America.
We are paying $623 billion a year just in interest. Not paying down the debt. Not building roads. Not defending the country. Just the interest. On money already spent.
That $623 billion exceeds what we spend on national defense.
And Congress’s answer? Pass a bill adding $5.5 trillion more.
“The level of the debt is sustainable, but the path is not.”
They thanked him and fired him.
His replacement, Kevin Warsh, was confirmed 54 to 45. The most divided Fed vote in modern history. Democrats and Republicans cannot agree on anything. Except, apparently, who gets to manage the printing press.
Meanwhile, inflation is not gone. CPI hit 3.8% in April. Highest in three years. Producer prices up 6% year over year. The stuff that makes the stuff you buy is 6% more expensive than a year ago. That cost gets passed to you. It always does.
Moody’s stripped America’s last AAA credit rating in May 2025. S&P did it in 2011. Fitch in 2023. All three major rating agencies now agree: the United States is not the safest borrower on earth.
Washington’s answer? Pass the beautiful bill.
I have been studying monetary history since the 1970s. I have watched this pattern play out across dozens of countries and centuries. And right now, there is one historical parallel I cannot stop thinking about.
Every empire that reached this point did the same thing next. And if you know what that thing is, you know exactly what to do with your money today.
They printed.
Every single one of them. When the debt became unpayable, they paid it the only way left: by making the currency worth less.
Rome debased the denarius. Weimar Germany ran the presses until wheelbarrows of cash could not buy a loaf of bread. Argentina. Venezuela. The names change. The pattern does not.
This is not conspiracy. This is history. And I have been watching this version of it build for 50 years.
Gold hit $5,000 an ounce earlier this year. Today it sits near $4,500. Silver is near $80 an ounce. These are not random numbers. These are the markets calculating what the dollar is actually worth when governments behave the way governments always behave.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
You do not have to be a victim of this.
Paper saves nobody in a currency collapse. Hard assets have survived every single one in history. Gold. Silver. Real estate that generates income. Assets in the B and I quadrant that governments cannot print away.
I buy gold. I buy silver. I hold Bitcoin. Not because I love these assets. Because I do not trust the people managing the currency. And the people managing the currency just called a $5.5 trillion debt bomb beautiful.
They named the problem. They just did not tell you what it would cost you.
To your freedom,
Robert Kiyosaki
P.S. For decades, Wall Street insiders have secured the biggest IPO gains before the public ever gets a shot.
Now, one economist says everyday investors may have a rare window to position ahead of a potential $1.5 trillion SpaceX offering.
