The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025.

Not missed it. Not reported on because of fear of reprisals and majority of the media is right winged so it doesn't suit their narrative. The media in the US is completely controlled now. Freedom of the press is now a feverdream.

currency issuers are never insolvent in the currency they issue.
