Lear Capital Releases Report on the Trillion-Dollar Debt Interest Crisis, Urges Investors To Help Safeguard Wealth With Gold and Silver

Government debt interest surpasses national defense and health care spending, highlighting the severity of our nation's debt problem and the need for Americans to take action.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lear Capital, a leader in precious metals since 1997, has released a comprehensive report showing U.S. government debt interest payments reached $1.126 trillion in 2024 — a $251 billion increase from 2023 — now exceeding spending on national defense, Medicare, and critical infrastructure.

The report, "The Trillion-Dollar Debt Interest Crisis," reveals how the government is borrowing money just to pay interest on existing debt, creating a concerning cycle that threatens economic stability. This pattern poses three significant risks: reduced funding for essential public services, increased inflationary pressure, and potential weakening of the dollar's global reserve status.

"This compounding debt crisis affects every American's financial future," said Kevin DeMeritt, founder of Lear Capital. "Historical data shows that during similar periods of economic uncertainty, precious metals have provided a reliable safe haven. We're seeing central banks worldwide increase their gold reserves, recognizing its enduring value as a hedge against currency volatility."

The report examines how precious metals have performed during past periods of economic stress, noting that gold surged over 500% during the inflationary period of the 1970s and demonstrated similar strength during the 2008 financial crisis.

"While policy reforms may eventually address these challenges, Americans need protection now," added DeMeritt. "Our analysis shows why diversification into tangible assets like gold and silver could be crucial for wealth preservation in today's economic climate."

The complete report, including a detailed analysis of economic impacts and protective measures, is available at www.learcapital.com. For more information about securing your financial future with precious metals, contact Lear Capital at 800-965-0580.
