The US is fundamentally broke due to their enormous debt - repayments are now north of $1T pa and growing.
They need $15T of new debt funding over the next three years.
They're struggling to get decent 10-year debt away already and are having to take expensive/desperate "payday loans" at the "short end" of 2 years or so because people don't want their paper (debt) for longer as they know it's going to be printed into oblivion over the next 5+ years causing a marked devaluation in the Dollar that you'll be repaid in.
Gold knows this too of course - hence the huge rise there over the last year or so.
So, the only way to get out of this debt spiral is to cause enough inflation such that tax receipts stay higher than debt interest payment obligations.
A great way of doing that is to pump the price of oil as that causes price increases in just about everything we consume.
The ongoing devaluation of the Dollar in and of itself will also provide inflation of course - in anything priced in Dollars - such as Oil & Gold.
Oil & Gold did something like a 30x / 20x respectively the last time the Money Guys organised such a pump so don't be afraid to throw a nice few quid at both over the next year or two IMO - the rewards (not just nominally as with everything else) might just amaze you as everything else goes sideways via stagflation.
