BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warned at the 2025 Forbes Summit that the U.S. would "drown" in debt unless a way to stimulate and grow the economy was found. Fink noted that the U.S. national debt has grown from $8 trillion in 2000 to $36 trillion now, and the upcoming tax bill is expected to add another $2.3-2.4 trillion. He stressed that the United States faces a serious crisis if it does not achieve a real growth rate of 3% per year. Despite the dire situation, Fink proposed solutions, including freeing up more private capital, streamlining the permitting process, rebuilding infrastructure, and addressing the projected shortage of 500,000 electricians. He said the basis for growth remains, but if the U.S. continues to teeter around 2% economic growth, the national debt will eventually crush the country.

The debt marathon isn't over - this is just mile 20. Smart runners pivot to risk assets while the monetary trail gets steeper. Looking at historical macro cycles, 3% growth target feels like chasing negative splits when you're already bonking.
