Could America’s Debt Crisis Trigger the Next Great Depression?

from Common Sense for America · host Bruce Rutherford

Is the United States losing its status as the world’s reserve currency — and what would that mean for the global economy? In this episode, Bruce Rutherford breaks down the growing concern over America’s debt bubble, the weakening dollar, and whether these economic shifts could lead to another Great Depression-style downturn. He explains what the “debt bubble” really is, how it formed, and what everyday Americans need to understand about its long-term consequences. As global powers like China and BRICS nations push to move away from the U.S. dollar, Bruce examines whether America’s financial dominance is truly at risk — or if this crisis is being overstated.
