If you want to know where the U.S. economy is (Truely) headed in the next 12 months.
Take a look at the (Conference Board) LEI - Leading Economic Index.
The U.S. National debt -
- Under Trump just blew past $39.0 Trillion (and rising).
It has grown $1.0 Trillion since late October 2025 (5 months).
- Cumulated Interest per year paid by U.S. taxpayers is now $993.0 Billion a year (and rising) to outside Investors who finance it (U.S. based, Japan; China; etc.) per usdebtclock.
Wars are (Very costly) and will (not if) move this much higher, coupled with Corporate Tax breaks; and for the wealthy over 10 years ($600.0 Billion from the Trump Tax bill).
This will (not if) affect the U.S. economy in a (Very negative) way as time moves along.
These are the facts.
