He is not predicting imminent hyperinflation or a dollar collapse. He is reiterating a long-term structural warning about unsustainable debt growth relative to economic growth. In this Short video, Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz discuss that history shows that high debt levels do not automatically lead to immediate collapse. The U.S. economy continues to grow and evolve, and debt must be viewed within a broader balance sheet framework rather than through headline-driven panic. 📺Full episode: Catch me daily on The Real Investment Show: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealInvestmentShow |
