They Called $39 Trillion "Beautiful."

Dear Reader,

$39,000,000,000,000.

That is what the United States government owes. Right now. Today.

It crossed that number on May 18th. Growing at roughly $5 billion a day.

And last summer, Congress signed a law to add $3.4 trillion more. They named it the "One Big Beautiful Bill."

Beautiful. That's their word.

In today's issue:

• Why the bond market is sending a warning Washington refuses to read

• The Moody's downgrade that happened a year ago — and what has changed since

• Once SpaceX hits the S&P 500, the buying frenzy begins. Grab a stake before that happens. Click here to see how

Let's look at what "beautiful" actually means.

The bill cut Medicaid. It cut food stamps. It cut clean energy credits. They took money from sick people and hungry people — and used it to offset $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. The Congressional Budget Office says 10 million more Americans will be uninsured by 2034.

At the same time, the debt climbs by $5 billion every single day.

The interest payment alone is $2.96 billion a day. Every morning, before the government buys a single missile or issues a single unemployment check, it forks over nearly $3 billion just to service old debt. That's $628 billion paid out already this fiscal year — just in interest.

The 30-year Treasury yield is at 5.12%. That's approaching Great Recession levels. When long-term rates rise, the cost of rolling over that debt explodes. One third of all U.S. debt matures within 12 months. That money has to be refinanced — at today's rates.

The math doesn't work. It hasn't worked in years. Everyone who studies these things knows it. But Washington keeps spending, keeps borrowing, and keeps calling it beautiful.

A year ago, Moody's finally stripped America of its last AAA credit rating. The reason they gave was plain: "persistent, large fiscal deficits" and debt ratios "significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns."

Since that downgrade, the United States added $2.7 trillion more in debt — and passed a law locking in $3.4 trillion more after that.

Every rating agency on earth has now downgraded U.S. debt. S&P cut it in 2011. Fitch cut it in 2023. Moody's cut it last year. Washington's response? Borrow more.

I have been studying monetary history since the 1970s. I have watched this movie before. Not just in the United States. In Rome. In the British Empire. In Weimar Germany. In every country that borrowed its way to the edge and then borrowed some more.

The pattern is always the same. The politicians call it manageable. The economists model it out. The rating agencies warn. The bond market eventually stops believing.

The 30-year yield at 5.12% is the bond market starting to ask questions. When it stops asking and starts demanding — that is when you see the real crisis.

And here is what the mainstream press will not tell you.

Gold is at $4,552 an ounce. That is not gold going up. That is the dollar going down. Gold does not change. The dollar is what is moving.

J.P. Morgan forecasts gold at $5,055 by the fourth quarter of this year. Some analysts say $6,000. Peter Schiff says $7,000.

I am not going to predict the price. I will tell you what I know.

Every currency in history that was printed without discipline eventually failed. Gold outlasted all of them. Gold was money before the Federal Reserve existed. Gold will be money after the Federal Reserve is gone.

YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR will not tell you that. Your retirement plan does not hold it. Your 401(k) is full of paper. Paper that the government can print more of whenever it wants.

They already told you to save money. Save dollars. Trust the system.

The system just borrowed $39 trillion. And locked in $3.4 trillion more. And called it beautiful.

My rich dad taught me one thing above everything else. Assets protect you. Liabilities destroy you. The U.S. government is the largest liability machine in human history.

The escape hatch is real assets. Gold. Silver. Land. Things no government can print.

The window to position yourself is not unlimited. The bond market is already asking questions. When it stops asking — you will wish you had acted.

Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered.

To your freedom,
Robert Kiyosaki

P.S. While Washington borrows another $5 billion today, smart investors are moving into assets that governments cannot print. Here's the income strategy I'd consider in a dollar-losing world.
