USA is 100 Trillion broke and they're "giving" other "broke" nations "Billions" of dollars in credit.

Thats called "COLLAPSE OF THE WORLD ECONOMY" w/ "YOUR MONEY".

You'd think the 18-trillion's worth of investments that already came this year just might have a positive effect on the economy "going forward".

For context, Biden't 4-year term saw 1 trillion come in.

Come on, MM, you don't actually believe that bullshit, do you?

* A detailed review by AP found that the White House’s own list of claimed investments totals about **$8.8 trillion**, far lower than $17–18 trillion. ([nbcpalmsprings.com][3])

* Many “commitments” Trump cites are **intentions** or pledges from foreign governments and corporations—not funds that are fully allocated or executed. Fact-checkers note these are speculative and not the same as actual investments. ([nbcpalmsprings.com][3])

* Some of the deals cited date to before Trump’s current term or are extensions of prior commitments, meaning they aren’t clearly new contributions attributable to his administration. ([nbcpalmsprings.com][3])

* Economists and fact-checkers say the plausible “real” new investment induced by his policies is likely in the **hundreds of billions**, not multiple trillions. ([AP News][4])

Verdict

So, in short: **No**, Trump’s claim of $18 trillion in new investment is not supported by solid evidence. The more credible documented number (even by his own administration) is much lower, and much of what is claimed rests on pledges, speculative commitments, or past plans. The $18T figure seems to be a highly inflated or exaggerated claim.

I'm aware of the fact that many of them are pledges... from industry-leading big-tech companies, for instance.

It won't be a good look for any of them to reneg. It won't do investor confidence any good. It won't be good for their customers or their share values.

Even if all of them changed their minds (ridiculously-unlikely), you'd still be looking at 9x the investment Biden pulled-in in 4 years, and this was in only 8 months.

You're doing that thing covered in the video I posted the other day. Only a fool would suggest that, for the sake of your argument, 9 trillion's worth of investment, and that's obviously only "for starters" given the timeframe, wouldn't positively affect the economy.

Surely you see the point?

-0.00 from -0.00 = -0.00 USA "borrowing" from IE : China buying USA bonds / debt, & giving that to broke nations that DON'T PAY THIER DEBT'S.
Yes sounds like sound financial advice / carry on.
Here's the big question why would an "Australian" "moderator" from a caulk rock forum owned by a European company support

Meanwhile back @ the ranch where is all my hard earned taxpayer revenue ? Where is it going ? Who's in charge ?

False.

U.S. Treasury (led by Secretary Scott Bessent) has already announced a $20 billion swap line / credit-line / support for Argentina, aimed at stabilizing its currency (the peso) and shoring up foreign exchange liquidity.

In addition, they are working on a complementary $20 billion facility involving private banks and sovereign wealth funds. If successful, this would bring the total support to $40 billion.

Some of the proposed support may include direct purchases of Argentine pesos by the U.S. Treasury, and lines of credit or debt purchases in the sovereign debt market

"You can call it a bailout, you can call it a rescue, it is a credit line to a country that otherwise would be out of reserves," Brad Setser, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and former Treasury official. Ultimately it will cost US taxpayers.

As a battered bitch I'm surprised you're back already.

Debt? Speak to the Dems about the enormous hole of debt they put the country in that can never be paid.

Both parties have massively increased US debt.

Debt as a % is probably most relevant:

Those stats are 100% BS.

Just look at how much Biden gave to Ukraine and that proves the above is total BS.

Then there's BLM, Afghanistan and whoever or whatever else we can drag up.

Trump is a money MAKER and not a debt dickhead like ALL Dems. You must love the taste of shit as your mouth is full of it.
