Brian Armstrong Criticizes U.S. Constitution, Cites $39T Debt and $1T Monthly Growth

According to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on X, the U.S. Constitution lacks two critical elements: spending growth limits and hard-asset-backed currency requirements. Armstrong noted that without these safeguards, democracies face escalating debt and eventual loss of reserve currency status. The U.S. currently holds $39 trillion in debt, growing by approximately $1 trillion every 100 days, with interest payments now exceeding defense spending. He attributed the issue to misaligned political incentives, where current leaders promise future-funded benefits while costs are borne by future generations without voting power.
