With national debt having just reached the $40 trillion mark \u2014 after taking 200 years to hit $1 trillion and only another 50 years to multiply that figure forty-fold \u2014 Morgan examines the growing interest burden (already 13\u201315 % of outlays), the limits of yield-curve management, and why a debt-based fiat system must eventually be replaced. He outlines the most likely path: an initial attempt at an unbacked digital\/MMT-style system that fails to regain confidence, followed by some form of gold-linked arrangement, noting that central-bank gold holdings have already surpassed their Treasury holdings in relative importance.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan also analyses the structural shift in silver: industrial demand has risen from roughly 35 % of the market 25 years ago (on ~550 Moz of total supply) to around 60 % today on approximately 1 billion ounces of annual mine-plus-recycling supply, while primary mine output has largely plateaued. He flags risks in the AI sector \u2014 opaque private-credit financing of rapidly depreciating GPU hardware and data-centre capacity that may prove difficult to repurpose \u2014 drawing parallels with 2008, and sees substantial upside remaining in undervalued mining equities once physical metal is secured. Gold and silver, he argues, remain the most reliable stores of purchasing power in an environment of financial repression, potential hyperinflationary blow-offs, or uncontrolled bond-market stress.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this video on US Debt Hits $40 Trillion, then please share with your friends and family on social media and use the caption: US Debt Hits $40 Trillion.<br \/>\n<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"sc-tabs-wrap\"><ul class=\"sc-tabs\"><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"#\" data-id=\"1\">Trading Recommendations<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" data-id=\"2\">Save In Silver<\/a><\/li><\/ul><ul class=\"sc-tabs-panes\"><li id=\"sc-pane-1\" class=\"active\">Market Analysis &#8212; Investing &#8212; Trading Methods At The Morgan Report &#8212; Starting As Low As $50 | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themorganreport.com\/join\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.themorganreport.com\/join<\/a><\/b>. <\/li>\n<li id=\"sc-pane-2\">Starting your own precious metals savings program is an easy way to automatically save in gold and silver.
