The state of the US economy
Robert Kiyosaki begins by highlighting the deteriorating state of the American economy, expressing concern about the growing national debt. With Congress currently debating raising the US debt ceiling to $31.4 trillion to avoid blemishes, Kiyosaki dismisses it as nothing more than “kabuki theatre.”
Drawing attention to the dire financial situation, he asserted that the United States is indeed bankrupt, citing unfunded liabilities, such as Social Security, that exceed $250 trillion.
Moreover, Kiyosaki highlights the size of the “derivative assets” in the financial market, which amount to thousands of trillions of dollars. Against this background, he offers his solution: investing in tangible assets such as gold, silver and digital gold – Bitcoin.
