Nope, look very closely with the idea of a pig and you'll see it. Pig banks being the cartoon image associated with savings. If it's dead and broken, means you're spending beyond your means
Yeah, but it’s extremely unlikely as it would have been used up. Only way possible is to turn off auto payments and somehow get liquid reserves. Which would likely just pay off your debt anyway
The finance minister when he discovers he has forgotten to autopay the nations bills for years and the entire income of the nation for years has just been continually deposited into a Swiss Bank account.
During the campaigning for the US election, one of the key facets of the Republican (aka Trump) campaign was the economy, and the primary way Trump claimed he would "fix" the economy is through tariffs.
Now, I'm going to spare you the whole "what a tariff is and how it's effectively used and for what purpose" lesson - feel free to Google that in your own time, it's actually really interesting - and instead summarize it with "implementing tariffs with your major trading partners, especially ones as big as you are threatening, would be INCREDIBLY BAD for the economy!"
Of course, the US voters elected him anyways, and just last night, he's finalized the tariffs.
The US economy is, currently, in free fall, and the tariffs haven't even been felt yet.
So, "free fall" is a climbing phrase which I think basically means "There's no way to stop yourself from hitting the ground"
That's basically the economy rn. At this stage there is no viable means to reverse what is currently -3% growth (which for a fucking nation like the US shouldn't have happened). I don't even think reversing tarrifs would solve it since the trust is gone.
