Financial analyst and Stansberry Research founder Porter Stansberry has told Anthony Pompliano that the U.S. is heading toward a sweeping monetary reset by 2029, pointing to Social Security’s structural collapse, accelerating dollar debasement, and more.
Stansberry’s Case for a 2029 Financial ReckoningStansberry’s thesis is rooted in what he calls the “Fourth Turning,” a generational cycle theory, popularized by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe, that identifies a major societal crisis roughly every 80 years. In his framework, the current crisis period began in 2008 and will reach its climactic resolution around 2029. The argument is detailed in his recent book “2029: The End of America”, described as an urgent update to an earlier documentary he released over a decade ago.
Annual interest payments on the national debt have also crossed $1 trillion, consuming a growing share of the federal budget that would otherwise fund social programs and public investment.
That said, the most acute near-term trigger per Stansberry is Social Security because the program faces a structural funding shortfall as demographic imbalances (a declining ratio of active workers to retirees) outpace the system’s revenue model.
Combined with a collapse of institutional trust between citizens and the state, Stansberry argues a hard monetary reset is not a tail risk but a near-certainty within the decade.
