Holding dollars as the USA starts spending $1 trillion per year on *just* interest payments is a pretty terrible idea. Look at this chart from our friends at FRED.
The silver lining is the general expectation that as the dollar continues to sink, the price of gold in USD will continue to rise. That is, for every dollar someone thinks you are wasting on gold, it is likely to come back to you dressed up like a five.
Assuming you've spent your life in the USA, what makes you think DC is going to solve this problem? Has spending ever gone down? Will DC realize the advantage of selling off assets and pay down the debt?
Or do you think the empire of military bases and interactions literally all over the world will end?
Nah.
The addiction to spending that is encouraged and also required by the donor-cum-bribery class will implode the US empire.
To survive the implosion, you'll need hard assets such as gold.
