There is no evidence that USA would have unraveled by the end of 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, or 2030. At worst, we were tracking no worse than the average EU country currently is performing.

So you need to clarify exactly what "got really close to the end of the road" means, because it sounds overly dramatic for no reason.

The rest of your comment reads as imprecise.
