The American Debt Machine — 35 Years of Silent Betrayal

They told us the debt was under control. The numbers tell a different story.

In 1990, the U.S. national debt was $3.2 trillion.

By 2000, it had climbed to $5.7 trillion.

A decade later — $13.6 trillion.

By 2020 — $27 trillion.

And now, in 2025 — an astonishing $38 trillion.

That’s not progress. That’s exponential decay.

Over just 35 years, $34.8 trillion has been added — the largest wealth transfer in human history, carried out in plain sight.

Here’s the truth no one wants to say aloud: they’re not going to pay it back.

Instead, they’ll inflate it away.

This is the “Inflation Tax” — a hidden, brutal levy that punishes savers, retirees, and anyone who still believes in the system. Every uptick in inflation erodes your purchasing power, quietly reducing the real value of government debt.

At just 3% inflation, Washington wipes away roughly $1.14 trillion in debt each year — stolen from you through higher grocery bills, gas prices, and shrinking dollars.

And this isn’t just America’s problem anymore. The world now carries over $100 trillion in public debt. When America sneezes, the global economy catches inflation.

They’ve turned your trust into their currency, your savings into their collateral, and your future into their leverage.

The data is clear. The machine is broken.

The only question left is — when will we stop believing the lies?
