(DailyEmailNews.com) – While liberals bemoan the $36.6 trillion debt burden, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum revealed at an event that America’s untapped resources could be worth a staggering $100 trillion—potentially solving fiscal challenges if properly managed.
See the tweet below.
Secretary Burgum shattered the left’s doom-and-gloom narrative about America’s financial future during his March 19 presentation, outlining how America’s vast natural resources remain largely untapped and undervalued.
For decades, environmental extremists and government bureaucrats have blocked access to these resources while complaining about national debt.
Burgum detailed the enormous scope of America’s natural resource portfolio: 700 million acres of surface land, another 700 million acres of subsurface mineral rights, and an additional 2.5 billion acres of largely unexplored offshore territories.
These areas contain billions of dollars worth of critical minerals, oil, gas, coal, and other valuable resources that could transform America’s balance sheet.
The Interior Secretary aimed directly at financial analysts and media outlets that focused only on America’s debt and did not account for its assets.
“What is our debt? 36 and a half trillion. What are our assets? I mean, I challenge anyone to try to find a current balance sheet of the United States of America,” he stated.
During the Trump administration’s first term, America achieved energy independence by unleashing domestic oil and gas production.
Now, Burgum suggests going further—not just using natural resources for energy security but recognizing their full financial value on America’s national balance sheet, which could dramatically improve the country’s perceived creditworthiness.
Moreover, Burgum’s financial assessment is critical when Americans are increasingly concerned about the impact of national debt on inflation, interest rates, and future prosperity.
The revelation that America’s natural resources could be worth up to $100 trillion underscores the immense potential deliberately hidden from public view by those who prefer government dependency over American prosperity.
Amid ongoing debates about debt and national strategies, Burgum’s statements could catalyze a larger conversation about tapping into America’s natural potential to ensure a prosperous and secure future.
