This could force the government to take on more debt just to cover existing obligations, a scenario that Dalio says could spiral out of control.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"482\" data-end=\"1024\">He compares the situation to a clogged circulatory system, where excessive debt functions like plaque restricting blood flow. With interest payments alone approaching $1 trillion annually, the ability to allocate funds elsewhere is becoming increasingly constrained.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/analyst-predicts-significant-altcoin-decline-before-potential-rally\/\" title=\"Analyst Predicts Significant Altcoin Decline Before Potential Rally\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Red-chart-NTB-123-1-1024x682.jpg-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Analyst Predicts Significant Altcoin Decline Before Potential Rally<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1519\">Dalio also highlights a critical supply-and-demand imbalance in the credit markets. With the U.S. deficit projected at around 7.5% of GDP, the government must sell a significant amount of debt to cover its shortfall. But if investor appetite fails to keep pace, the situation could deteriorate rapidly. He describes this as a classic debt cycle where borrowing becomes self-perpetuating, leading investors to lose confidence and offload government debt\u2014pushing the system closer to collapse.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1919\" data-is-last-node=\"\">To prevent a full-blown crisis, Dalio argues that the U.S. must take decisive action by reducing its deficit to 3% of GDP, a strategy he calls &#8220;the 3% solution.&#8221; Achieving this, he says, would require both spending cuts and lower interest rates. He warns that failure to implement these measures could lead to dire consequences, urging political leaders to take responsibility before it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has issued a stark warning about the U.S. economy, suggesting that the country is heading toward a dangerous
