৪০ ট্রিলিয়ন ডলার ঋণ - কিন্তু পাওনাদার কারা? | US Debt Explained

Hello viewers. Suppose your income is one lakh taka per month. Your total bank balance is 10 lakh taka. But your debt is one crore taka. Borrowing from friends. What do you think after hearing this? Anyone who says you are in danger, boss. Now look at a country. America. As I was making this video, the

total debt of the US government exceeded 40 trillion dollars. There are twelve zeros after 40. Hearing the numbers, you would think that this country is on the verge of bankruptcy, but the funny thing is that it is the opposite. The world's largest banks, pension funds, and foreign governments are still lending money to America.

That debt figure is getting bigger. On the other hand, look at the dollar amount that Sri Lanka ran out of to repay its foreign debt installments in 2022. The result was no fuel, no medicine, and people rioting on the streets. At that time, Sri Lanka's total foreign debt was a hefty $50 billion.

And America now has 40 trillion dollars. That means hundreds of times more debt than Sri Lanka. Still, America's debt continues to grow. How is this calculated? A country becomes bankrupt after being unable to handle foreign debt of 50 to 60 billion dollars. On the other hand, another country is one of the most reliable borrowers in the world, despite borrowing $40 trillion.

But why? You might say they print dollars. That's their special power. That's right. But if the answer was just that, there would be no need to make this video. Because the strangest part of the story is that the world is willing to lend to America. That's not all. In many ways, that death in America is a very useful thing for the rest of the world.
