The U.S. is currently facing a significant financial challenge, and for blue-collar business owners, Dallas Richardson believes this presents notable obstacles. As the founder of Sky Tower Counsel, Dallas has dedicated his career to helping blue-collar entrepreneurs navigate such challenges and come out stronger. Dallas and his team at Sky Tower Counsel provide actionable strategies that may help protect your business during these uncertain times.
The Current State of the U.S. Debt Crisis
Dallas Richardson has pointed out that the national debt of the U.S. has reached approximately $35 trillion, and the true challenge lies in the $220 trillion in unfunded liabilities. These unfunded liabilities include programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, which have no dedicated funding source. According to Dallas, experts such as Richard Duncan, David M. Walker, and Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff have raised concerns that the U.S. government’s spending patterns could be unsustainable, suggesting that the crisis is already in motion. Dallas advises that business owners, particularly those in blue-collar industries, should consider proactive steps in preparing for what lies ahead.
The Government’s Financial Strategy: Raising Taxes and Printing Money
For decades, the federal government has relied on borrowing, using Social Security and other programs as reserves. As a result, these programs could face challenges in the near future, with Social Security projected to run out of funds by 2034. Dallas explains that when governments face funding shortfalls, history suggests that raising taxes becomes a likely response. This potential burden, he believes, may fall on blue-collar business owners, who could find themselves facing higher tax rates with fewer tools to protect their businesses.
In response to rising inflation, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates, which may only exacerbate the national debt, creating a complex situation. As inflation increases and interest rates climb, Dallas notes that business owners may find themselves facing higher operational costs and more expensive loans, all while trying to maintain profitability and retain skilled workers.
The Impact on Blue-Collar Business Owners
For many blue-collar business owners, the national debt crisis might seem distant, but Dallas suggests it is likely to impact their operations significantly. Rising taxes, increased inflation, and supply chain disruptions may shrink profit margins, making it harder to grow and retain employees. Business owners may need to make difficult decisions, according to Dallas: cutting salaries, raising prices, or absorbing the costs.
Without a proactive tax and financial strategy, these challenges could become overwhelming. However, Dallas believes that businesses that implement the right planning strategies may be better positioned to protect themselves from these issues and even thrive during uncertain times.
