Credit Crisis Worsens As 75 Million People Stop Paying!
Atlantis Report: 3-13-2024
The U.S. economy is facing a severe credit crisis, as 75 million people have stopped paying their debts, according to a recent report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The report reveals that millions of Americans are struggling to repay their loans, mortgages, credit cards, student loans, and other debts due to the combined effects of the pandemic, the recession, the inflation, and the reserve ratio.
This widespread non-payment of loans, credit card balances, and other financial obligations has sent shockwaves through the banking sector, raising concerns about the solvency of lending institutions and the potential for a cascading effect on the global economy.
