Welcome to Rescheduledebt.com In 2024, the average American family faces an unprecedented squeeze on their finances.

Billionaire Twitter Wars: The Elite’s Disconnect
While working Americans struggle with basic expenses, Wall Street’s elite are engaged in a very public dispute. Bill Ackman and Stanley Druckenmiller, representing combined wealth exceeding billions, have taken to social media platform X to debate Trump’s tariff policies – highlighting the growing disconnect between America’s wealthy and working classes.
“I strongly believe launching tariffs on April 9th against the entire world — massively in excess of what we are being charged — is a mistake,” posted Ackman, marking a significant shift from his previous Trump support.
