Even the Fed is losing money: The Federal Reserve just reported a $19.9 BILLION operating loss in Q3 2024 up from $16.9 billion in Q2 – TKL

This all comes as federal debt has skyrocketed by $26.6 TRILLION and nearly TRIPLED since 2008. By comparison, the economy has grown by $14.6 trillion, or $12 trillion less.
