- Ray Dalio warned that rising U.S. debt and deepening political divisions could push the country toward crisis. In an interview this week, the Bridgewater founder said America faces a choice between uniting around shared interests or descending into destructive conflict. He cautioned that the nation’s 125% debt-to-GDP ratio risks triggering a “debt bomb” if investors lose confidence, forcing higher borrowing costs or painful spending cuts.
Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio is always on the lookout for the next issue that could derail the economy. He, like many others, is extremely concerned about national debt. He’s also mindful of geopolitical conflict, restructuring of the monetary world order, and also the rising tensions within America itself.
