Interest on the national debt now costs over $1T/yr - 14% of the budget. Trump is talking about cutting social security. The reason the US economy is in a death spiral is because of moving jobs overseas, both physical and outsourcing. Wages that should have gone to US workers to be spent in the US economy are now being used to boost overseas economies like India instead.

"AI" is an achievement alright (so was designing a nuclear bomb), but if it is allowed to further gut the middle class, lowering wages, and hence spending (and tax receipts, to extent that matters any more) then it will only hasten the spiraling of the US economy down the toilet.
