$39 trillion in debt. $1.6 trillion deficit. A 125% debt-to-GDP ratio, in a country where economists used to ring the alarm bell at 70%. Sitting beneath it all: nearly $900 trillion in derivatives exposure, the same "financial weapons of mass destruction" Warren Buffett warned about in 2008. They were supposed to be cleaned up. They weren't. They multiplied.

Taylor Kenney walks through the doom loop using the government's own numbers. Foreign buyers walking away. Yields climbing. Every printed dollar worth less than the one before it.

So the question isn't whether something breaks. It's who's holding the bag when it does.
