How Does US economy is based on Ponzi scheme that could collapse Work?

The US economy is like a big game where people keep passing around a magic cookie that never runs out, but it might one day.

Imagine you and your friends are playing a game with cookies. You all agree that every time someone gets a cookie, they give one to the person who started the game. That way, everyone keeps getting more cookies, right? But if no new cookies come in, eventually, there won’t be enough for everyone, and the game could crash.

That’s kind of how the US economy works. People get money from jobs, loans, or investments, but they also give some of it back to keep the system going, like paying off debts or giving money to the government. It's like passing around a cookie every day.

The problem is that there are more people asking for cookies than there are new ones being added. If this keeps happening, the cookie jar might run out. When that happens, it could feel like the whole game, or economy, collapses.

So, the US economy is like a big cookie-passing game, and if the cookie jar doesn’t get refilled soon, everyone might have to share fewer cookies, or even none at all!
