Warning from Peter Thiel
Billionaire Peter Thiel, speaking at the All-In Summit 2024 in Los Angeles, warned that the U.S. economy is on the brink of a recession. According to Thiel, the economy is being propped up by heavy government intervention.
Reasons for Budget Deficit
Thiel pointed out that as of May 2023, the projected deficit for fiscal year 2024 was already at $1.5 to $1.6 trillion. By the start of the new fiscal year in October 2023, the deficit had risen by an additional $400 billion, pushing it closer to $2 trillion. Thiel criticized the cyclical increase in the deficit, stressing that it should be reduced during periods of economic growth.
Need for Reforms
Thiel believes that significant economic reforms are necessary to address the current situation. He suggested that technological innovation could be a viable alternative for sustainable economic growth, countering traditional methods such as tax cuts or globalization. Thiel also emphasized that the government’s current approach to the deficit would lead to long-term instability.
