It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a nation in possession of a vast fortune, must be in want of a most ingenious plan to salvage its finances. 🤑
Mr. Elon Musk, a gentleman of considerable wealth and ingenuity, has opined that a most radical improvement in productivity is the only means by which America may be saved from the brink of bankruptcy.
In a most candid post on the social media platform X, Mr. Musk, who presides over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), revealed that his agency is doing its utmost to keep the nation’s finances afloat, even as the national debt continues to swell like a most unwelcome guest.
However, Mr. Musk cautions that mere cost-cutting measures, no matter how stringent, shall not suffice to stem the tide of profligacy that threatens to engulf the nation. Nay, only a most exponential growth in GDP shall serve to offset the rapidly expanding debt burden that weighs so heavily upon the nation’s shoulders.
“I have come to the perhaps obvious conclusion that accelerating GDP growth is essential,” quoth Mr. Musk. “DOGE has and will do great work to postpone the day of bankruptcy of America, but the profligacy of government means that only radical improvements in productivity can save our country.” 🤔
Mr. Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, appears to concur with Mr. Musk’s sentiments. In a recent interview with Fox News, he emphasized the importance of growing the economy at a pace that outstrips the debt, lest the nation be forever mired in a sea of red ink.
“We can both grow the economy and control the debt… If we change the growth trajectory of the country, of the economy, then we will stabilize our finances and grow our way out of this.” 📈
The latest data from the Treasury Department reveals that the US federal government’s debt has ballooned to a staggering $36.215 trillion, a sum equivalent to 122% of the nation’s GDP. 📊
