Same Shitz, Different Toilets: A Road Trip Through U.S. Fiscal Decay
Three toilets. One broken economy.
Welcome to the U.S. fiscal tour you didn’t ask for — but you’re already on.
Interest rate handcuffs, currency melts, and foreign fire sales… every stop smells like debt, denial, and desperation.
Toilet 1 : Indie Shell Station, 12:05 AM
AKA: Fiscal Dominance — The Fed Can’t Leave the Bathroom
One flickering light. A key attached to a hubcap. The lock barely works. Smells like Natty Daddies and regret.
That’s where the Fed is now.
It doesn’t matter what Powell wants to do — raise rates, shrink the balance sheet, normalize.
Because interest payments on the national debt are eating the budget alive.
U.S. national debt: $36 trillion
Annual interest expense: $1.2+ trillion
Treasury auctions now fund interest, not America
The Fed is no longer steering. It’s mopping up the overflow. Every rate hike makes the debt hole worse.
You’re not here by choice. Just like the Fed.

Toilet 2 : Waffle House, 2:55 AM
AKA: The Interest Rate Trap — Raise Rates, Kill the Government
You order eggs. They bring you ketchup packets and a knife.
That’s what happens when the Fed tries to fight inflation in a debt-rigged system.
Higher interest rates used to fight inflation. Now they just make the U.S. go broke faster:
Every 1% hike adds ~$360 billion in annual debt cost
The Fed’s balance sheet losses are now permanent
Commercial banks are bleeding as Treasuries lose value
We’re trapped. Raise rates? Break the banks and bankrupt the Treasury.
Lower them? Watch inflation roar and the dollar melt faster than your Waffle House cheese grits.
No matter what you order — you’re getting fucked.
Toilet 3: Port-a-Jon, Fayetteville, NC, 4:12 PM
AKA: Foreign Buyers Leave the Bond Market
It’s hot. It’s plastic. It’s blue. The fan’s broken. There’s a wasp inside.
And the sign says “Occupied” — but no one’s in there.
That’s the U.S. Treasury market in 2025.
Foreign demand for Treasuries — once the cleanest toilet in the warzone — has evaporated.
China’s dumping bonds
Japan’s not showing up
BRICS are buying gold, Bitcoin, and each other’s currencies instead
That “risk-free” U.S. debt? It’s now priced like toxic junk with an American flag sticker on it.
The only reason yields haven’t exploded is because the Fed keeps buying what nobody else will touch.
Final Flush
The 2008 financial crisis broke more than just banks—it broke America’s debt strategy. Faced with emergency funding needs, Treasury abandoned long-term debt and went short-term, slashing average maturity from 6 years to 4. What started as crisis management became a permanent Ponzi scheme: we never pay back principal, just roll over trillions in short-term debt every few years. Today, $7.6 trillion—31% of our entire debt—matures within 12 months. We’re not managing debt anymore; we’re running history’s largest refinancing scam. And guess who’s now controlling the rollover?
This isn’t financial advice. It’s a public service announcement from the side of the road.
You can’t fix this with tax reform. You can’t vote it away.
The toilet is broken, the tank is leaking, and the pipes are full of IOUs.
You either get out of the bathroom — or get used to the smell.
