Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has issued a stark warning about the ballooning U.S. national debt, predicting “shocking developments” that could destabilize markets and erode confidence in traditional financial systems.
But for savvy investors, this looming crisis underscores the timeless value of gold—a proven asset that thrives in times of uncertainty and offers a shield against the fallout of fiscal mismanagement.
“The first thing is the debt issue, we have a very severe supply-demand problem,” Dalio told CNBC’s Sara Eisen at CONVERGE LIVE in Singapore. ”[The U.S. has] to sell a quantity of debt that the world is not going to want to buy.”
According to CNBC:
The U.S. deficit needs to go from a projected level of 7.2% of gross domestic product to about 3% of GDP, Dalio said.
“That’s a big deal. You are going to see shocking developments in terms of how that’s going to be dealt with,” he added.
Asked whether the U.S. debt problem could lead to a period of austerity, Dalio said the issue could result in a restructuring of the debt, the U.S. applying pressure on other countries to buy the debt, or even cutting off payments to some creditor countries.
“Just as we are seeing political and geopolitical shifts that seem unimaginable to most people, if you just look at history, you will see these things repeating over and over again,” Dalio said. “We will be surprised by some of the developments that will seem equally shocking as those developments that we have seen.”
For gold advocates, Dalio’s warning is a clarion call. As governments print money to cover deficits and devalue fiat currencies, gold stands out as a tangible store of value that can’t be inflated away. Historically, gold prices surge when faith in paper money wavers—making it the go-to asset as the U.S. edges closer to what Dalio calls a “debt reckoning.”
Jonathan Rose, CEO of Christian conservative precious metals company Genesis Gold Group, said the warnings of the past are becoming the reality of today.
“Watching the national debt and its impact on gold for the past two decades has had more than a few people in my industry say we were being ‘Chicken Little’ but it’s playing out exactly as we warned, exactly as we hoped it wouldn’t for our nation,” he said. “Now our phones are ringing off the hook as Americans come to realize they need to protect their retirement or wealth with physical precious metals.”
Gold and silver continue to perform well compared to other assets often used to back retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s. Prices remain at or near record levels with some analysts claiming they could skyrocket in the near future.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
