The US national debt crossed $34 trillion this month in January 2024 reaching an all-time high.

“However, we’re accustomed to deteriorating US government finances with limited consequences for investors. And one day that may change (the boiling frog analogy). The US has run out of the road on that one,” Cembalest added.

If left unchecked (like the debt), the cocktail is a recipe for disaster and BRICS could bring the US economy down.
