July 09, 2025

It’s no secret that the U.S. national debt has hit eye-popping levels — over $36 trillion and climbing. But does that mean an economic crisis is on the horizon?

  • Why America still holds structural advantages — and why foreign ownership fears are largely misplaced

Perspective matters. While there’s no shortage of fiscal challenges ahead, the sky isn’t falling — and history suggests betting on America is still a smart play.
