The idea is that since interest rates are near historical lows, that having long-term debt will insulate the USA from some problems that would happen once interest rates rise. However, not too many would want to buy one-hundred year bonds as that is a long time to hold something at low interest rates, so the rate it would need to pay may be higher than the USA believes it can afford.<\/p>\n<p>In the past 8 years, the total official US debt has nearly doubled.\u00a0 As interest rates rise, this will be problematic&#8211;and that may also complicate the idea of being able to sell 100-year bonds.<\/p>\n<p>Now while president-elect Donald Trump is inheriting the most financially-indebted nation of all time, he considers himself a debt expert:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Nobody knows debt better than me. I\u2019ve made a fortune by using debt and if things don\u2019t work out, I renegotiate the debt. Well, you go back and you say, \u2018hey, guess what? The economy just crashed. I\u2019m going to give you back half. (\u201cTrump recession\u201d? Presumptive GOP nominee fires back at Clinton. CBS, June 22, 2016)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It sounds like Donald Trump believes that debt is good and there is nothing wrong with defaulting or otherwise not intending to pay the total debt back.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible says the wicked have that attitude:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><sup>21<\/sup> The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives. \u00a0(Psalms 37:21)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Donald Trump has also filed for bankruptcy four times\u2014presumably to not pay back debt, while he claims a financial worth around $10 billion.<\/p>\n<p>He may consider that to be \u2018good business,\u2019 but his practices and intents sound biblically immoral.<\/p>\n<p>The financial stability of the USA is a &#8216;house of cards.&#8217; The wind will blow one day and it will all collapse.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible has an end time prophecy that those who read it may want to run:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>2 Then the Lord answered me and said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWrite the vision<br \/>\nAnd make it plain on tablets,<br \/>\nThat he may run who reads it.<br \/>\n3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;<br \/>\nBut at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. (Habakkuk 2:2-3)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is this end time prophecy about that should cause people to run?<\/p>\n<p>It is a prophecy about debt accumulation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>6 \u201cWill not all these take up a proverb against him,<br \/>\nAnd a taunting riddle against him, and say,<br \/>\n\u2018Woe to him who increases<br \/>\nWhat is not his \u2014 how long?<br \/>\nAnd to him who loads himself with many pledges\u2019?<br \/>\n7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly?<br \/>\nWill they not awaken who oppress you?<br \/>\nAnd you will become their booty.<br \/>\n8 Because you have plundered many nations,<br \/>\nAll the remnant of the people shall plunder you (Habakkuk 2:6-8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The USA is believed to be the most indebted nation in the history of the world. Habakkuk&#8217;s prophecy is for the end time and cannot be directed towards the tiny nation called Israel. Israel simply does not have enemy creditors. But the USA has actual, past, and potential enemies as creditors.<\/p>\n<p>The USA will come to its end (cf. Daniel 11:39; see also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/usa-strongest-fortresses.htm\">USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The USA is not going to be able to issue 100-year bonds and not have any consequences.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"America's Day of Reckoning  2017 Dollar Collapse?\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=olw1s_Y-7Gg\" data-sessionlink=\"ei=0FmCV9LEPMSX_APDxYV4&amp;feature=c4-feed-u&amp;ved=COsBEL8bIhMI0uz094vpzQIVxAt_Ch3DYgEPKJsc\">America\u2019s Day of Reckoning 2017 Dollar Collapse?<\/a> Economist James Dale Davidson says that a financial bloodbath will hit the USA and there is nothing that Washington can do to stop it. He claims that at least 57 nations have gotten together to dethrone the US dollar as the world\u2019s reserve currency. He claims this can happen any day or in a few months. He mentions China, Russia, the AIIB, and gold. He claims his track record in predicting massive shifts in the past should assure people that he is right about this. He claims that there will be massive unemployment, near elimination of social security benefits, and more. Is James Dale Davidson possibly right on any of this? Dr. Thiel goes over many of his claims and explains what the Bible shows related to the coming collapse of the US dollar. This is a video.<br \/>\n<a title=\"Collapse of the Euro and Dollar?
