America just refuses to face reality and that means that the dollar will continue to lose value and more and more money will be tossed into the furnace. Politicians are much more willing to feed the inflation beast than they are to fix the underlying problem of out of control spending. And it's not a matter of parties. It's matter of always taking the easy way out. After all, in current day America, a politician's primary responsibility is to get reelected every 2-4-6 years  Until that changes, nothing else will change.

Consumers are still spending, but the banks are facing high interest rates and the commercial real estate sector is facing repurposing and foreclosure. The auto industry is seeing a decline in sales, but Tesla is still doing well.

The debt ceiling is a political bargaining chip used by both parties to get their desired outcomes. It is inevitable and does not have to be a bad thing, as long as it is kept under a certain percentage of revenue. The disruption to the monetary system will come from digital currencies, which will be backed by a military and government. The US is relatively stable, but the next 3-6 years will be volatile and rocky due to the economic downturn and Covid. Individuals should prepare for this by being aware of the situation and taking necessary precautions. Carl Gould advises to buy assets at a discount and manage for cash flow during volatile times. He suggests investing in marketing and brand building, and for employees to show their boss how indispensable they are and be willing to come back to the office.
